    This guy grew up around me. Truly a bible thumping idiot. And a catholic to boot. How they can honestly believe they have a moral leg to stand on while supporting that church is ironic to the peak. Get fucked Butker

      I’m so confused by the super fundie catholics. I grew up in New England and was raised Catholic, even went to Catholic school for a bit, and never got any of that “barefoot and pregnant” in teachings or sermons. The church always had awful stances on abortion, birth control, divorce and homosexuality but pretty much everyone just glossed over or ignored it. And there really wasn’t anyone pushing that shit. Like you never heard anti gay or any abortion stuff in church or in school. I wonder if the church adapts to the local region? Like how McDonalds sells wine in France? Or maybe the American dioceses all got infiltrated by super right wing priests?

        It might be regional. Seems like the catholics in the south ignore the whole child rape thing too. I have family who married into that religion unfortunately and their spouse was actually surprised when I brought it up, like he’d never heard about it before I mentioned it

        The Catholic bishops in the Northeast have all been cowed by bullying liberals into downplaying and ignoring Church teachings in order to be more appealing. This is why it’s lost so many Catholics, such as yourself, to the world. You have no understanding of actual Catholic teaching, and have embraced the godless degeneracy of the modern world. This is not your fault, it’s the Church’s fault.

      You progressives are forcing an ideology onto children that was literally developed by a pedophile to justify pedophilia. Queer theory, which underlies the entire gender ideology that you have confused with “morality,” was developed by Michel Foucault as a means of challenging the norms around pederasty, because he wanted to have sex with young boys.

      How do you think you have a moral leg to stand on? You people don’t even believe in morality! You literally think morality is just a subjective social construction that has no objective basis.

    The worst part is that he was saying this to a bunch of women who just graduated with degrees. He’s basically telling them all to give up after putting in 4+ years of work. This guy is a total shit bag.

      It’s a football meathead speaking his dumb meathead thoughts, just garbage to toss out basically. Sad that his dumb thoughts were published though. Outrage journalism has lowered the bar for society pretty significantly.

        Blaming journalism for reporting what this guy said at a graduation ceremony is fucking hilarious and tone deaf.

        “If people wanted you to write warmly about them , they should’ve behaved better”

        Being a meathead isn’t an excuse; behave better. That includes people who make excuses for people who behave poorly.

          2 things can be wrong at once you know. Nothing I said is an excuse for the meatheads dumb and wrong words. You misunderstood what I said.

          It is also bad that his dumb words were published and shared.

      A bunch of conservative Catholic women who gave him a standing ovation. Because, you know, you’re completely misrepresenting what he said and don’t actually understand that not everyone in this country agrees with your worldview.

      Also, you people are literally incapable of reading with basic comprehension. There is literally no way to read his comments and arrive at the conclusion that he was telling anyone to “give up” on a career.

    Hahaha. Even if there WERE lots of women who wanted to be homemakers, there is no way that a family can run on the average single income. So, somebody has been telling diabolical lies to him about the current economy.

      About 50% of American families are single-income families, with half of those being single mothers and the other half being single-income, two-parent families. Single-income, two-parent families are found at every income bracket. The idea that it’s impossible (“there is no way”) is a myth.

        And where do your stats come from? Do they account for the current cost of living crisis that’s affecting the average person globally? Inflation? Where I am, living on a single income for a family means that you’re likely either in the top 10% of wealth or you’re struggling in poverty.

        Additionally, your statement ignores that someone has gone to a university graduation ceremony and made derogatory remarks to the female students who’ve worked hard to get to where they are.

          The Department of Labor.

          That never happened. The media made that up and you swallowed it without actually using any critical thinking skills or reading his comments yourself. If he had made “derogatory comments” towards the women in that audience then he would not have received a standing ovation from those women. People don’t give you a standing ovation for insulting them.

      Why do people feel the need to disparage athletics as “kid games”? Are adults not allowed to play games? Are people not allowed to be entertained by feats of strength? Are you just mad that it’s not a “real job”?

    Continuing from OP…

    “I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I’m on this stage today, able to be the man that I am, because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.

    “I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all. Homemaker.”

      Fine, but you can’t extrapolate from one woman to all of womankind. Does he think every man should play professional football?

        He’s not the one extrapolating from one woman to all of womankind, you are. He never once said that all women should become homemakers. You are taking his praise of his wife, which was meant to communicate to the audience that if you abandon your career for a family as his wife did, then you will probably be happy like his wife was. You people are so rabidly misogynistic and anti-family that you can’t even comprehend what he said when you have the speech laid out in front of you. It’s truly amazing how bad at reading comprehension you all are.
