Instead of promoting unity in our church, our nation, and the world, his comments seem to have fostered division. One of our concerns was the assertion that being a homemaker is the highest calling for a woman. We sisters have dedicated our lives to God and God’s people, including the many women whom we have taught and influenced during the past 160 years. These women have made a tremendous difference in the world in their roles as wives and mothers and through their God-given gifts in leadership, scholarship, and their careers.

These gullible losers seem to have bought into the same media propaganda and misrepresentations about Butker's commencement address.

He didn't just speak to the women. He had a whole separate set of comments that he addressed to the MEN among the graduates.

“Instead of promoting unity in our church, our nation, and the world, his comments seem to have fostered division..”

Unlike Our Lord Jesus Christ who never uttered a divisive word.

If this group of Nuns actually believed and practiced the Catechism, Frankie would have shut them down by now.

He did address the men - but he was very clear about elevating his wife’s path and choice (to give up career) as THE honorable route for women, THE path for fulfillment.

From a practical level, It is a bit shortsighted in tone, given his position as a multi-millionaire with a busy high-profile schedule. His family’s realities are not going to play out like everyone else’s

But obviously, nuns who take a vow of chastity, and who’ve devoted their life to scholarship and passing on that scholarship to women who go onto wear many hats in their life both inside and outside the home — do not want their mission to the world limited or misrepresented.
