Harrison Butker, a devout Catholic and professional kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, has stirred up a major controversy with remarks made during a commencement address at Benedictine College, a small Catholic institution located in Atchison, Kansas.
In his speech, steeped in traditional Catholic beliefs, Butker took aim at a variety of untouchable tenets of liberal orthodoxy — including “Pride Month,” which he called a “deadly sin,” while warning about the threat from “dangerous gender ideologies.”
