The outcry proves the degree of degeneracy America has sunk.

How dare a practicing Catholic espouse Catholic doctrine and values addressing a Catholic school’s graduating class!

Yet another attack by the godless left against Christianity in general, and Catholicism in particular.

It amazes me sometimes , what sorts of things will cause manufactured outrage among liberals.

And as noted he was speaking to a Catholic university graduating class. He was urging them to apply traditional catholic values to their lives. He told the women that they will find gratification in life with marriage and family in their futures.

How is it that political correctness and the left have such a Stranglehold on our culture? The NFL rushed out a statement saying they disavow the comments made by someone in a speech at a graduation at a religious college? Why did the liberals who run the NFL field compelled to rush out with such a statement?

Why do the talking heads on TV rush out there, to prove that they are liberal, by disavowing these comments that were not aimed at them anyway?

Seems to me they picked on this event and decided to produce manufactured outrage.

So we live in a world in which it’s considered hate speech or a crime against humanity , to urge young people to adhere to any Traditional Values.

The outrage from the general public, the View, and the NFL is disappointing but not unexpected in today's culture.

The condemnation of the Nuns at Benedictine College is disgusting.

A petition of 100,000 in a country of 350,000,000 is NOTHING. This petition isn’t worth the attention it is getting.

On a related note, why no outrage of BLM’s founding charter that calls for the eradication of the nuclear family, or even recognition that the woman who started this group is a Marxist? Crickets from the media.

Stop expecting fair and equal treatment (or rational) at the hands of the media. You’ll never get it.

It's all right, people; you can calm down because he gave a little shout-out to Tay-Tay:

"This undue familiarity (priests being buddies more than priests) will prove to be problematic every time, because as my teammate's girlfriend says, familiarity breeds contempt."

So you can put the torches and pitchforks away until we really need them after Bad Orange Man's election.(/s)

congratulations to Harrison Butker for standing up for Catholic values!!!
I can’t believe the Sisters at the Mount have sunk to such a low level.

Glad to see that at least one is on her knees repenting.
The rest are in need to follow her example.
