Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde was not removed from the National Cathedral by the Episcopal Archdiocese of Washington, a spokesperson for the cathedral has said. The narrative originated from a satirical page on Facebook and has no truth to it.

Budde was raised in Morris County by a single mom and a congregation that valued hard work. "I didn't see myself as minister material," she said.
