Harrison Butker fiercely defended the controversial Benedictine College commencement speech he gave earlier this month during Friday evening’s Regina Caeli Academy Courage Under Fire Gala.
“If it wasn’t clear that the timeless Catholic values are hated by many, it is now,” the Kansas City Chiefs kicker, who is on the board of the Catholic homeschool hybrid school, said while at the fundraiser.
“Over the past few days, my beliefs — or what people think I believe — have been the focus of countless discussions around the globe.”

It’s only controversial to leftist non-Christians, and then only because there is no joy for the sinner in hearing the truth, until she becomes His disciple and it sets her free.

Stating reality is not controversial. It’s insane, maniacal haters who created the controversy and want to destroy him.

There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.

Hate pedophile homosexual rapist priests? A lot to hate there.
As for the rest, meh. Lots of religions want women as wives/mothers/stay at home and raise the kids.

He should hold up a Bible and proclaim, this is the only defense I need and then start to ask the reporters if they have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
The rats will run for the hills, crying all the way.

Atheists hate when believers speak out. They feel threatened that their bubble of Illusion will pop.

controversial "Controversial" means "anything leftists don't like".
Back in the 1970s when National Review was a paper magazine and worth reading, Bill Buckley ran an article translating leftist propaganda words into normal English. His translation of "controversial" was roughly as given above.

Catholics, by and large, don't read the Bible.
Your point, though is valid.

I am not Catholic, however I found NOTHING wrong with a single word in his speech.
NICE to finally see a player that doesn’t degrade the teams & who doesn’t make a mockery-—LIKE KAEPERNICK.
