NFL player Harrison Butker, who delivered a commencement speech at Kansas' Benedictine College last Saturday, has stirred backlash among some women and pro-choice activists.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's faith-driven commencement address May 11 at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, caused some controversy. Read the transcript of his speech below.
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of 2024, I would like to start off by congratulating all of you for successfully making it to this achievement today. I'm sure your high school graduation was not what you had imagined, and most likely neither was your first couple years of college. By making it to this moment through all the adversity thrown your way from COVID, I hope you learned the important lessons that suffering in this life is only temporary.
The TLM is so essential that I would challenge each of you to pick a place to move where it is readily available. A lot of people have complaints about the parish or the community, but we should not sacrifice the mass for community. I prioritize the TLM even if the parish isn’t beautiful, the priest isn’t great or the community isn’t amazing. I still go to the TLM because I believe the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is more important than anything else.
