While addressing graduates at the Catholic liberal arts college in Atchinson, Kansas, the NFL kicker blamed Biden for what the Super Bowl champion believed was a deterioration of societal values. He began his speech by addressing the adversity this year\u2019s graduates faced, given they were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dr-seuss-uncanceled-virginia-entrepreneur-passes-out-dr-seuss-books-to-kids\/\" title=\"Dr. Seuss Uncanceled: Virginia Entrepreneur Passes Out Dr. Seuss Books To Kids\">high school seniors<\/a> four years ago during the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy making it to this moment through all the adversity thrown your way from COVID, I hope you learned the important lesson that suffering in this life is only temporary,\u201d Butker said. \u201cAs a group, you witnessed firsthand how bad leaders who don\u2019t stay in their lane can have a negative impact on society.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Harrison Butker | Commencement Address 2024 | Benedictine College\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-JS7RIKSaCc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p><figcaption>Harrison Butker\u2019s commencement speech to the graduates of Benedictine College<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhile COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique,\u201d said Butker. \u201cBad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith. But at the same time, is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally,\u201d Butker said. \u201cHe has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I\u2019m sure to many people, it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is not alone,\u201d Butker affirmed. \u201cFrom the man behind the COVID lockdowns to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chiefs-kicker-slams-biden-and-dei-in-commencement-speech\/\" title=\"Chiefs Kicker Criticizes Biden and DEI in Speech\">people pushing dangerous gender ideologies<\/a> onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common. They are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn\u2019t cut it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are the sorts of things we are told in polite society to not bring up \u2013 you know, the difficult and unpleasant things,\u201d Butker said. \u201cBut if we are going to be men and women for this time in history, we need to stop pretending that the church of nice is a winning proposition. We must always speak and act in charity, but never mistake charity for cowardice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Butker is well-known for his Catholic beliefs and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-maga-republican-smear-is-about-turning-democrats-political-opponents-into-the-governments-enemy\/\" title=\"The \u2018MAGA Republican\u2019 Smear Is About Turning Democrats\u2019 Political Opponents Into The Government\u2019s Enemy\">pro-life sentiments<\/a>.
