Hooray for Harrison

Kansas City Chief's kicker, Harrison Butker recently gave a speech at a small authentically Catholic college in Atchison, Kansas, Benedictine. His speech caused an uproar around the country and even outside the country on the left, including the media. It seems that what they focused on in Harrison's great speech is when he rightly said that women have been lied to for a long time that being a stay-at-home mother or homemaker is a lesser vocation and doesn't bring ther fulfillment of a full time career. Harrison didn't say that women couldn't have careers, but said that many women would be happier in the home raising their children. I don't think the left even knew what they were complaining about, they just know they don't like anything that can be considered conservative.
Harrison also took a shot at "pride" month, rightly pointing out that is supports a deadly sin, literally deadly in many cases. Many on the left lost it on this as well.
And Harrison was rightly very critical of bishops, saying most are living in fear. He called for bishops to be shepherds and not politicians. He said bishops don't say the though things of the Catholic Faith, and that we usually only hear from them at the annual appeal time. He calls for bishops to put forth Catholic Teaching in a concrete way with clarity and not ambiguity. He doesn't mention the Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis, but seems obvious that when speaking of ambiguity, he was largely talking about Francis.
Harrison also called upon priests to be fathers for their flock and teach them Catholic Truths in a charitable way and not be concerned about popularity in the parish.
And he called upon all Catholics to be unapologetically Catholic and live in the world, but not of it. That is where the Catholic Church has gone wrong, it has tried to blend in with society. And he called upon men to be fully masculine and not afraid to do hard things. So spot on.
There was also criticism from within the Catholic Church, including a bunch of nuns at Benedictive who claimed Harrison's great speech was divisive and disrupted unity and wasn't welcoming. Whenever you hear such blather it is from someone who abhors true Catholicism. These nuns are modernist nuns from the 60s and 70s. They of course don't wear habits. Authentic Catholic nuns no doubt agree with Harrison's great speech.
I have no doubt that Harrison's bolde and great speech will have a long lasting positive effect on the Catholic Church, and thus the world. Hooray for Harrison.
