[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were offered fed by his speech that’s fine it wasn’t intended for you.

The reaction he got from his intended audience was overwhelmingly positive.

He’s a Christian, who gave a speech full of Christian values to a Christian college with Christian students. Both women and men were in the crowd and he got a standing ovation. If you’re offended it’s because you’re were the intended audience or you’re. It ready to come to terms with what he was saying is truth.  He wasn’t saying that a women’s only purpose was to be in the kitchen as you might have seen in the 60 second edited clip of his full 20-30 min speech.  He addressed men as well and said how important their role was as well. He spoke truth to the fact that most people will find more value in their family life than anything else because the people you love and care about are more important than any degree.

The only ones mad or pressed about this is the man-hating women who seem to be in abundance here and on social media, and the sycophantic men who are trying to preach feminism in order to try to get dates.  Most everyone else who works, strives to be better and have a family see what he said as a basic truth and something they agree with in terms of values.

Those who disagree can have their viewpoint but it doesn’t matter, he wasn’t speaking to you or about you so you can go on knowing that.  It doesn’t matter how many “I will chose the bear over the man” memes you post in your social media, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re not the one he or any of the people who likes his speech would be looking at for a relationship anyways

I am a Catholic and he was speaking to Catholic women and he spoke against the Catholic Church and Catholic teachings so yes, it is my place and my lane to point out where he is wrong and blasphemous.

These crazy nut jobs are always trying to Bogart the Catholic Church because it has so much money and power. Good Catholic women and men will not allow that.[/quote]

Please give exact quotes for his blasphemy.

Unlike most on this thread, I read the entire speech, found here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrell/2024/05/15/heres-harrison-butkers-controversial-commencement-speech-in-full/?sh=371843c17937

His views are not mainstream U.S. Catholic views, and they are not mine. But they are neither heretical or blasphemous, and he is entitled to them.

I posted above what I thought was the most questionable thing he said: "...when you embrace tradition, success, worldly and spiritual will follow."

I posted above and the line I found most questionable was this:[/quote]

Well for one, he supports the “blood libel” defamation of the Jews, which the Church has clearly distanced itself from. [/quote]

PP here: I went back to the speech and agree with you that also was questionable. I was always taught that this rests with Pilate and the Sanhedrin, not "the Jews." Quote from him:"Congress just passed a bill where stating something as basic as the Biblical teaching of who killed Jesus could land you in jail."

I find myself in the awkward position of defending him as not espousing views contrary to Catholic teaching (ex-the two questionable citations above). I don't agree with him, but he is not speaking as a representative of the Church but rather as a member of the Church, who is free to speak on how he understands and lives his faith in the Church.[/quote]

Yeah I’m sure he meant the Sanhedrin. And not the blood libel against Jews. Remember that Butker and his ilk are absolutely opposed to everything they perceive as liberal in the Church and that very much includes recent efforts to reconcile with the Jews. This dude wants to go around saying Jews killed Jesus. [/quote]
