A Catholic Response to Harrison Butker's Speech 

Member of a 'church' best known for it's abuse of children kids on to himself and the world that he is somehow fit to preach morality.

Not necessarily! I'm NOT Catholic but agree with the essence of what he said about women and faith in God!

The Bible doesn’t require women to marry or have kids at all. Jesus doesn’t have children or a wife from our limited knowledge. Butker or this Bishop are just sharing their interpretation.

@@larrydeweinI think many do. My Mom was a stay home wife and mother. I’m 81.

Wrong

Yep, there's a reason why honor thy father and mother is the fourth commandment, placed right after the three that are for God himself. God put it there!

Dearest. It is 5 the commandment. Rome removed do not worshio or nake carvwd images to worship.CATHOLICS many are innocent lovibg and obedient. Very east to live with them. But it is a pagan church. What happened to Willian tyndale? Why did the piligrims run ? Who were the first 4 popes. Did Rome take to loot of Jerusalem temple to make opulent buildings ? Why does Vatican gave such tall walls at the sane time it wants US to keep borders open?But Cathokic is good to bring uo children in obefience thougg it is full of umbilical rituals.Do they believe or teach🙏prophecy? Do they live israel?How do you see mexican catholics cobduct worship. Gos has mother?

He clearly was defensive… of Butker’s comments. He defended him the whole time.

@@bernr2877😮 9:12 9:13 😅 9:16 😅😅😅😅😅

Well said!

He spoke his beliefs, not truth.

@@madisonlee9859- He spoke both Truth. Which are his beliefs. He spoke of Gods Truths.

@madisonlee9859 Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Whether you choose to believe that or not, it is true. You either embrace the Truth, or you embrace the spirit of rebellion against Him, which is the mentality of Satan.

@@j2muw667 He spoke his beliefs. He did not speak for all catholics nor all christians.

@@michaelbarry1664 Why are you assuming I do not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ?

And the nuns at that college called out bucker and so many other Catholics and probably the poop. Is something else when you’re parishioners no more than your leaders

@@billgunn8639 Nowhere in the speech did Mr. Butker judge anyone. He challenged behavior that is destructive, but never judged the people themselves. Nothing he said had hate or malice towards anyone. He had difficult challenges towards just about everyone, but all because he challenged people to be the best version of themselves. Very subtle but important distinction.

And then he deletes his post. Such a cowardly act.

@@dfogarty1897 the Vatican will sanctions the college pretty soon…

I'm Protestant, but I agree 100% with Bishop Paprocki and Harrison Butker on this issue.

Excellency 🤣 y’all weird af

@@jessebaldwin2661 Butker subscribes to the Anti-Semitic lie of the Jews killing Christ, a lie that was debunked by Pope Benedict XVI himself. Doesn't it bother you that he thinks he knows better than the Pope?

GOD created each as He decided. Those who God created as gays carry that cross, and it is not to be made heavier by BULLY'S ! WE ARE BEING TESTED AS HOW WE TREAT THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT THAN US. WE MUST ACCEPT ALL THE WAY GOD MADE THEM. This Bishop is one of those Freemason priests who are trying to destroy our Church from the inside, especially as he leads others astray.

@@mspastorem My dear friend, Bishop Paprocki is far from a bully. He is one of the more pastoral shepherds we have in the USA. You see, he loves his flock so much that he will speak against the disordered ideologies of our day so that those entrusted to his care will spend eternity with him in the heavenly homeland. When I use the word disordered, I simply mean that ideologies which seek to satisfy our base desires are not ordered to God's will. Whether God created our same-sex attracted brothers and sister that way is a mystery that the Catholic Church has not weighed in on. What the Church does weigh in on is that the sexual relations are reserved to the married life for unity and procreation. The loving response is to let anyone, gay or straight, know that sexual relations outside of marriage is sinful.

@@mmurph2686What about the statement from the Benedictine Sisters? Does that carry any weight or are they to be discarded? Mother Mary has always said to do all things with humility and love. If there is no humility in the righteousness, it is not righteousness but merely pride. May God Bless his excellency, the Benedictine sisters, all God’s Favored sons and daughters, and all lay people with humility, and lead them all on the paths He wants them to follow, to the place He wants them to be.

@@genuinetuffguy1854 The power of Butker’s speech is that it has opened a dialogue about societal norms and how they are impacted by conditioned thinking. There are two sides to every argument, but some arguments are just better as they lead to human flourishing. The Benedictine Sisters have weighed in on the conversation as has everyone else. Of course, our biases and experiences/observations are going to determine whose statements gain more traction in our own hearts and minds. I tend to prefer the position of Bishop Paprocki and Butker to the more ambiguous statement from the Sisters because I have experienced (through my ministry) the desperation of women in their late 30s-early 40s who chose career over family and realize the negative impact of that choice.

@@mmurph2686 The speech could have been way more encouraging and supportive for the role of mothers without throwing out so much criticism. He was admonishing priests and bishops as well as overlooking other contributions of women. He used the term “stay in your lane” so many times. If someone chooses to weaponize their speech they are going to yield more bitter fruits. He could have chosen to say positive things about the role of mothers as well as the role of consecrated life without assuming such a judgmental air of supremacy, but he chose to be essentially political trying to score points with ultra conservative pundits. He was also essentially throwing out Novus Ordo. This is not a way to open up dialogue about these matters, it is a way to further increase division within the church.

The pope said both are fools.

I don’t think the current Pope is a Christian. To me, he appears to be a communist politician.

And God Bless the ending of this religion.

You have catholic faith ? What is that ? Thank God I have faith in Christ alone not in religion

@@amoyjoyce1117 Doent sound like it. The Catholic Church was founded by Christ on the Apostles. He who rejects you, rejects me, is a quote from Jesus in the Gospel. That is what faith in His Church is, Faith in Him.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@amoyjoyce1117why?? Just why?? It’s getting so old seeing these little sly smirky comments from so called Christians against the church and have no idea of Christian history and church teaching. And I know you don’t cause the statement you just made. Biblical canon, theological development, theological terms to explain, maintaining and preserving scriptural and apostolic teachings through the centuries, so on and so on. All this was done by and through the church with the help of the Holy Spirit. So please, with love, think before making rude random comments to another Christian that you should support.

Your church is upside down. Society is fine because "society" in this nation doesn't belong to Catholics or Christianity.

And I suppose you think Jesus rejected people that are different. If you believe this you don't know the old testament or new. And ps the King who had the King James Bible written had 3 male partners. Sad the lies these supposed Christian spread.

Butker suggested that the Jews are the killers of Christ. Doesn't it bother you that he thinks he knows better than Pope Benedict XVI? Doesn't it bother you that he used Vatican II's efforts to reconcile the Roman Catholic Church's history of Anti-Semitism as an anal wipe? What is wrong with you?

Hello from Dublin

@@jaqian Hello from Limerick

🙏 Praying for the faith and the faithful in Ireland 🇮🇪 ! May GOD bless all of you Irish and bring you great strength and increase in the faith in every way, according to His will ! After all, it was the faithful Irish, that built so much of the faith that we have to be thankful 🙏 for in America! 🇺🇸 May GOD bless Ireland 🇮🇪 !🙏 May GOD bless America 🇺🇸! 🙏

@@Ginger-B153 Thank you so much,and God bless you and yours, and of course may God bless America!!

Hi 👋 from USA!!! I pray for Ireland 🇮🇪

If you are going to do that the Pope must be removed.

The pope said Bishop Thomas John Paprocki is a fool.

How is it political correctness to have a job so you can afford a roof over your head and food? Wages have not kept up with the economy.

@@madisonlee9859 My wife has been a homemaker for many years raising our children. God has designed a husband to be head of the household to shoulder the financial burden while the wife is rearing the children. I know it is a juggling act because not all families can afford to live on one income, especially today with the rising costs. We made it through a tough period with me in a job transition and a baby on the way. All turned out well because of our great trust in God. I believe in the Bible verse, "Seek the Kingdom of God first and all else will be given to you."

@@Heart_on_Fire1 Wages have been stagnant for decades, so it is not possible for most families to live on one salary anymore, and I would not tell people they had to try. It is nice for you that you had the type of wife that you wanted, but I just never got that god wanted me to be a stay at home wife and mother. He wants me to be a greater part of society and my husband agrees.

@@madisonlee9859 Sure we can have that cordial discussion rather than an uproar when Harrisson said that the highest calling of a vocation for the woman is motherhood and his wife is a homemaker. You don't have to agree with that but why the backlash?

In charity, neither Paprocki or Buteker ar Catholics. They both embrace heresy, that Joe Biden is in the Catholic Church, is Catholic and professes true faith. What you see and witness is pack of heretics and counterchurch. You want to see Most Holy Family Monastery and their material.

Shame on any Catholic or any other person of faith who would Mock him!

He pushed his version of Christianity and so does the Catholic Church. Read the Bible you know the King James version that was written for a King with 3 male partners to get control over his people.

Good Catholics don't refer to other Catholics as "so-called Catholics" when they don't agree with a particular viewpoint. Be better.

​​​@@ruthstorkel9627 Simply because you had a very different interpretation of what millions of Catholics, non-catholics and people of other faiths had of that speech you have absolutely no right to cast "shame" on anyone. It's certainly not in keeping with the Christian faith; It's small minded and immature. Others, of good faith and integrity, had very strong reactions because they strongly disagreed with his disparaging comments and obvious misunderstanding of his role that day. I'm certainly not in support of mockery, that said, Butker did a very good job of mocking many in his speech.

TRUE Roman Catholics believe that the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, is INFALLIBLE on matters of faith or morals for the entire church! Since the majority of this jack wad's speech contradicts the position of the Pope on the issues, true Roman Catholics should speak out in OPPOSITION to this hateful, bigoted, misogynist, homophobic speech and shame on those who purport themselves to be Roman Catholics, who are standing up for their faith, when they are in fact going against the head of their church and the doctrine of papal infallibility!! Faithful Roman Catholics take their religious instruction from the Pope, not some arrogant bigot whose big contribution to the world is kicking an odd-shaped ball!

How is a woman having a job not living for God?

@@madisonlee9859 it’s not, she works for the glory of God and her family.

So according to this jack-ad, all nuns are living in opposition to "god's plan" since they are not subjugating their lives to a man and becoming baby factories! It is Butker who is acting as a "cafeteria catholic" because he chooses to totally ignore the doctrine of papal infallibility! He is so damn arrogant that he presumes to know what "god" wants his believers to do better than the POPE, the head of the Roman Catholic church & Roman Catholic doctrine clearly states is INFALLIBLE on issues of religion & morality!! Catholicism is NOT a democracy where you get to believe whatever parts you like & ignore the rest; the Pope's interpretation is THE interpretation, and on most issues, what Butker promoted was in opposition to the Pope's! In the past, Butker would be considered a heretic for preaching his views that are so antithetical to the head of the Roman Catholic church! Perhaps Butker should start his own religion or join one that has similar reactionary views towards women, gays, medical science, etc.; radical Islam perhaps!!

Absolutely, love to hear it

And yet, Bishop Paprocki couldn't bring himself to admit that Butker propagating the lie that the Jews are killers of Christ, and mispresenting the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023, are a problem. Why do you ignore this? Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets his takes from outlets like TheBlaze, Breitbart, The Daily Wire, and TP USA.

What is true in your religion is your belief and opinion and not an objective fact. If any religion was objective fact, there would be no need for faith, as faith is belief in that which can’t be demonstrated as objective fact.

So, Butker spoke out "about what is true in our catholic religion," did he? REALLY? Well, not according to the head of the Roman Catholic church, the POPE, whose views are diametrically opposed to the hateful, intolerant, bigoted, misogynist views expressed by Butker! As a catholic, I am sure you are aware that, according to Roman Catholic dogma, it is the POPE, who is the ultimate arbiter of what is "true in our catholic religion" and who is INFALLIBLE on issues of religion & morality, and not some reactionary extremist, whose sole contribution to the world is kicking an oddly-shaped ball and condemning and/or maligning those who don't agree with him!

That did not take nerve, that took pride. Something he says he is against.

You must be a woke liberal. Stop it already. Just stop it with your hateful comments. You need God in your life! God is love and it seems that you dont have God in your life!

Why the laughing?

Motherhood can be very sad. Or, it can be supernal. It totally depends on your approach. Choose wisely and live.

❤#7 He's saying that the family is important to both women and men ❤

Maybe they'll bring the dowery back.

He closed our parishes for months and months

Annezo.. it is sad that it was pushed to close churches, which was wrong. Thank God more bishops are seeing the need.. NEED...to stand UP for the Church and her teachings .

@@annezone6b494 Oh. That's unfortunate. Dang, I keep hoping... 🙁

@@loisl5000 Yea, the heck with public health where millions died from Covid. To heck with it. Let them spread the love of Covid.

Me too.

It’s Butker not Bukler. 😇

Amen! Amen! Brother....

⁠​⁠​⁠@@CatholicMailman His iPad or iPhone might have autocorrected Butker to Bukler. Because I’ve had to go back and change the auto corrected to the proper spelling

He didn't speak the truth. Women are individual human beings with equal value to men. Our value is not just in marriage and having children. So if we are not married or don't have children, we have no value? Why doesn't he quit working and stay with his kids? What is the role of being a father and husband? What did he sacrifice for his wife? She had to convert to his religion just to marry him.

@@CatholicMailman Holy cow, cannot forget a misspelling? BUTKER

So, if the greatest accomplishment of a woman is motherhood & homemaker, is the "greatest accomplishment" of a man fatherhood? Is it a man's role as father what makes him the "great man" beside the woman, who has reached her pinnacle by giving birth? No, of course not! According to misogynists like Butker, this bishop & you, men were meant for greater things, while women are placed on this earth to serve men by doing the thing they can't, give birth!! Butker stated that he "would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and children you will bring into this world." Seriously? The women crossing the stage spent as much time, energy, & money to achieve that degree, yet, according to that jack wad, MOST really only did so to get a husband & become a baby factory!! While it is entirely appropriate for the male graduates to to be "thinking about all the promotions and titles ((they're) going to get in (their) career(s)" as they cross the stage to receive the degree they've earned, it is NOT for the female graduates! In fact, according to Butker, the only reason that it would even enter their minds to consider anything beyond getting married & providing their husbands with offspring, is that they “have had the most diabolical lies told to" them!! That this jack wad, whose big contribution to the world is kicking an odd shaped ball and spreading bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, has the tiniest inkling of what most female college graduates want, actually what most women, period, want, is absolutely laughable!! Furthermore, most of his bigoted speech contradicts the stance taken by the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, who, if you are a true Roman Catholic, believe is INFALLIBLE in issues of religion! Therefore, actual good Roman Catholics should speak out AGAINST his speech, NOT in favor of it!!

But if we give gentle constructive criticism, we offend them and they shut down. SMH

AMEN!

"Our Father who art in Heaven ..." It is literally the highest calling. One that God himself chooses.

This guy was another yes guy. He was portraying exactly what Butkey was speaking against. Oh, the irony.

Amen ! This Bishop is refreshing!😊

@@Ginger-B153 I couldn’t agree more. I’ve seen too many priests be wishie washie and going along with the newer popular secular ways. When our priests are meant to be leaders of the people and church. Being a Catholic isn’t a popularity contest it’s job is to lead us to heaven

Sadly whores too.breaks🙏my heart to see such young women missing out ob family life

Right on my brother of the Knights of Columbus

Yessss

June is the month of The One True King's Sacred Heart. So there's no need to reclaim anything that wasn't theirs in the first place. They lie and pretend all the time 😄😄 delusional people.

Amen.

I hope you post that on MSNBC. Better get your armor on first. Lawfare is real.

I'm so happy for you dear, please can you elaborate more about this I'm having a lot of family crisis lately. I definitely believe you're God sent

Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place

Thank God for Bringing Mrs Maria Angelina Alexander , I'm happy for God's grace have found me, Mrs Maria Angelina Alexander is lord sent!!!

A lot of people keep talking about investments and how investment trade change their lives. I really need to engage myself in someway of earning more income and stop depending on the government

The miracle of God is flowing Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned Maria, thought I'm the only one trading with her. She's a perfect teacher
