Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave a courageous commencement address at the Catholic Benedictine College where he defended the family and morality.
Butker, who has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs and kicked the game-winning field goal in the 2023 Super Bowl, has never shied away from sharing his Catholic faith publicly. In his commencement address to the class of 2024 at Benedictine College, he spoke more about how his Catholic faith informs and guides his daily life and that of his family, including the fact that his wife is a homemaker.
Butker would go on to condemn abortion, surrogacy, and in vitro fertilization, things that are expressly condemned as grave moral evils by the Catholic Church, as he addressed the graduates who attended a Catholic college. He also singled out pride as a particularly “deadly sin.”could not have imagined that their attempt to rebuke and embarrass places and people like those here at Benedictine wouldn’t be met with anger, but instead with excitement and pride.
The Chiefs kicker did not say that women had to be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. All he did was note the fact that many women graduating from Benedictine will choose to be wives and mothers first, and that this vocation should be honored and celebrated. This is hardly a controversial statement for anyone who knows anything about the life goals of Benedictine students.
