​@@gwennvyI'm not entirely sure that's what he was insisting. Just saying that reproducing and caring for your husband and home is what will make women happiest and is most important. You can't deny that the average person wants to start their own family. Women want to care for their husbands and children if they have them. I disagree due to my own dis/interests, but most of what he said is accurate for the majority of the US population.

Benedictine student here! As Ben mentioned repeatedly, Butker spoke very fundamental theological things at a very Catholic college. Some things have been concerned controversial, but I’d like everyone to remember that Butker was only sharing his experience. That being said, the topics he covered and thoughts offered are shared by the vast majority of my peers and also Christian Americans. I think his speech did wonders to prepare the graduating class for living as Catholics after leaving a community that is focused on a Christian worldview. That is all.

[@canadiense1969]

As a traditional Catholic. I cannot thank you enough for defending Butker. Our appreciation from the Catholic side appreciate it immensely because your voice is strong and your thoughts are brilliant as always. Thank you!!

@@gabikassen270 This does not imply that those who are wealthy cannot enter heaven or are necessarly a bad person.

The rich young ruler found it difficult to leave his wealth or the material things and do good with them in order to follow Christ. His greed is what ate him up.

I am familiar with Benedictine and I have met Butker. He is a humble and decent fellow. He is not a public speaker by nature and you can see that he is nervous on stage. He took his role as the commencement speaker and his role as a public person seriously and is using it for good. That is easy for someone like me who is a nobody but for him to say it is actually courageous. Also, the majority of NFL fans knew who Butker is long before five minutes ago. He is the second most accurate kicker in the NFL’s history and arguably the best kicker in the history of the sport. A team can rise or fall on the leg of the kicker. My Chiefs won the last two superbowls because Butker put us three points ahead of the Eagles and then the 49ers. Pretty much every NFL fan knows that and knows who he is.

Thank you, Harrison Butler for speaking wisdom to this graduation class. How dare you? By the power of God and because you are an authentic man. Thank you! 76 yr old female who had to work, yet God provided the ability to reduce my hours to part-time and protected them from being revoked. Why & how? I was able to accomplish more in the time allotted because I was so happy to have the greatest desire of my heart - to raise my child - was satisfied. God's grace! Grateful!

[@robertsprouse9282]

@@sg9414, nice try.. TRUMP is not against men living as women, or vice versa. Instead, what he is against is believing that men can actually magically become women biologically and vice versa. There has never, EVER been a female born with a Y CHROMOSOME. Nor, has their been an “intersex” person that while saying that they are a woman even though they have no mammary glands, a uterus or eggs, while also having no penis, that has had a Y chromosome.. ever. No intersex person has been born with BOTH= any mammary breasts and a penis, either. Like it or not, there is a line of demarcation in nature. I am an agnostic telling you this. Only humans POST-BIRTH are manipulating appearance by hormones and/or body carving or implanting. Don’t believe me? Look it up. Sex type Roles are creations largely due to a little of all three of these: 1. the psychological make up of people; and= 2. societal expectations via necessary roles which provide differences which brings protection for the ones carrying, or in the future who will be carrying, fetal stage offspring(posterity); and finally 3. the instinctual drive to create mother and father roles of responsibility toward caring for that (those)baby(ies). It’s provably that simple. Finally, TRUMP said he is for STATES making the decision on abortion.. as the law now reads. I frankly believe abortion that eliminates viable fetal stage human beings is unconstitutional based on some ARTICLES, the BILL OF RIGHTS, and the reflection provided by the CONSTITUTION’s Preamble’s own words. Care to discuss all of it? I am here and all eyes and ears. Yep..

Well, there has been an explicit and fairly open campaign by Marxist inspired forces to destroy the Judeo-Christian nuclear family. Lenin wrote a book called "The Emancipation of Women." He opened expressed a desire to break up the family. Lenin wanted women in the work force and he wanted children to be raised by the State to be good Communists. This has been going on since the Russian Revolution at a minimum. Communist defectors have reported that the Soviet Russia funded some feminist groups.
