@@johnasmith5000 Nowhere in the speech did Mr. Butker judge anyone. He challenged behavior that is destructive, but never judged the people themselves. Nothing he said had hate or malice towards anyone. He had difficult challenges towards just about everyone, but all because he challenged people to be the best version of themselves. Very subtle but important distinction.

Thx 🙏 Harrison, God bless you and your family 🙏✝️🇭🇺🇺🇸
So according to this jack-ad, all nuns are living in opposition to "god's plan" since they are not subjugating their lives to a man and becoming baby factories! It is Butker who is acting as a "cafeteria catholic" because he chooses to totally ignore the doctrine of papal infallibility! He is so damn arrogant that he presumes to know what "god" wants his believers to do better than the POPE, the head of the Roman Catholic church & Roman Catholic doctrine clearly states is INFALLIBLE on issues of religion & morality!! Catholicism is NOT a democracy where you get to believe whatever parts you like & ignore the rest; the Pope's interpretation is THE interpretation, and on most issues, what Butker promoted was in opposition to the Pope's! In the past, Butker would be considered a heretic for preaching his views that are so antithetical to the head of the Roman Catholic church! Perhaps Butker should start his own religion or join one that has similar reactionary views towards women, gays, medical science, etc.; radical Islam perhaps!!
Bishop Paprocki acted like a good bishop and a real man by accepting the truth of much of the speech. He accepted the positive aspects of Butker’s that reminded the clergy of their role in our lives. His positive attitude is to be commended.
Thank you for your courageous witness, Bishop Paprocki. All of our bishops should express full support of Harrison Butker’s address to Benedictine College.
GOD created each as He decided. Those who God created as gays carry that cross, and it is not to be made heavier by BULLY'S ! WE ARE BEING TESTED AS HOW WE TREAT THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT THAN US. WE MUST ACCEPT ALL THE WAY GOD MADE THEM. This Bishop is one of those Freemason priests who are trying to destroy our Church from the inside, especially as he leads others astray.
@@mspastorem My dear friend, Bishop Paprocki is far from a bully. He is one of the more pastoral shepherds we have in the USA. You see, he loves his flock so much that he will speak against the disordered ideologies of our day so that those entrusted to his care will spend eternity with him in the heavenly homeland. When I use the word disordered, I simply mean that ideologies which seek to satisfy our base desires are not ordered to God's will. Whether God created our same-sex attracted brothers and sister that way is a mystery that the Catholic Church has not weighed in on. What the Church does weigh in on is that the sexual relations are reserved to the married life for unity and procreation. The loving response is to let anyone, gay or straight, know that sexual relations outside of marriage is sinful.
@@mmurph2686What about the statement from the Benedictine Sisters? Does that carry any weight or are they to be discarded? Mother Mary has always said to do all things with humility and love. If there is no humility in the righteousness, it is not righteousness but merely pride. May God Bless his excellency, the Benedictine sisters, all God’s Favored sons and daughters, and all lay people with humility, and lead them all on the paths He wants them to follow, to the place He wants them to be.
@@genuinetuffguy1854 The power of Butker’s speech is that it has opened a dialogue about societal norms and how they are impacted by conditioned thinking. There are two sides to every argument, but some arguments are just better as they lead to human flourishing. The Benedictine Sisters have weighed in on the conversation as has everyone else. Of course, our biases and experiences/observations are going to determine whose statements gain more traction in our own hearts and minds. I tend to prefer the position of Bishop Paprocki and Butker to the more ambiguous statement from the Sisters because I have experienced (through my ministry) the desperation of women in their late 30s-early 40s who chose career over family and realize the negative impact of that choice.
@@mmurph2686 The speech could have been way more encouraging and supportive for the role of mothers without throwing out so much criticism. He was admonishing priests and bishops as well as overlooking other contributions of women. He used the term “stay in your lane” so many times. If someone chooses to weaponize their speech they are going to yield more bitter fruits. He could have chosen to say positive things about the role of mothers as well as the role of consecrated life without assuming such a judgmental air of supremacy, but he chose to be essentially political trying to score points with ultra conservative pundits. He was also essentially throwing out Novus Ordo. This is not a way to open up dialogue about these matters, it is a way to further increase division within the church.
Butker suggested that the Jews are the killers of Christ. Doesn't it bother you that he thinks he knows better than Pope Benedict XVI? Doesn't it bother you that he used Vatican II's efforts to reconcile the Roman Catholic Church's history of Anti-Semitism as an anal wipe? What is wrong with you?
And yet, Bishop Paprocki couldn't bring himself to admit that Butker propagating the lie that the Jews are killers of Christ, and mispresenting the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023, are a problem. Why do you ignore this? Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets his takes from outlets like TheBlaze, Breitbart, The Daily Wire, and TP USA.
What is true in your religion is your belief and opinion and not an objective fact. If any religion was objective fact, there would be no need for faith, as faith is belief in that which can’t be demonstrated as objective fact.
So, Butker spoke out "about what is true in our catholic religion," did he? REALLY? Well, not according to the head of the Roman Catholic church, the POPE, whose views are diametrically opposed to the hateful, intolerant, bigoted, misogynist views expressed by Butker! As a catholic, I am sure you are aware that, according to Roman Catholic dogma, it is the POPE, who is the ultimate arbiter of what is "true in our catholic religion" and who is INFALLIBLE on issues of religion & morality, and not some reactionary extremist, whose sole contribution to the world is kicking an oddly-shaped ball and condemning and/or maligning those who don't agree with him!
Pro excellent. What a great man, that took nerve. I’ll be a fan of his forever. What a great family he must have. God bless them all, ❤❤❤.🙏🙏🙏. He’s a strong man to tell the truth today, in the USA. Take care of him Lord.
Thank you Bishop Thomas for being such an honest, supportive force for the church and who I deem as another positive force Harrison Butker. Our lost and broken world needs strong men like you both and to speak out with wisdom, lovingly firm love with the blessed platform God has given you. ❤🙏✝️☝️
I'm relieved to see Bishop Paprocki praising Harrison Butker instead of condemning him. I'm a convert to a traditional Catholicism, and I often feel confused about who my friends are - my own bishop, for example, is expected to liquidate our TLM this year. But this Bishop seems like he might be friendly.
Annezo.. it is sad that it was pushed to close churches, which was wrong. Thank God more bishops are seeing the need.. NEED...to stand UP for the Church and her teachings .
What a beautiful response to Harrison Butker's Speech!!! I thought how wonderful it was when he stood up for all the good things and yet I was amazed at the number of so-called Catholics who ridiculed him. What in the world are they thinking??? I pray that more men whether they are popular sports figures or regular fathers will stand up for truth!! God bless all of you and thank you Bishop Paprocki for standing up for our faith!!!
He pushed his version of Christianity and so does the Catholic Church. Read the Bible you know the King James version that was written for a King with 3 male partners to get control over his people.
@@ruthstorkel9627 Simply because you had a very different interpretation of what millions of Catholics, non-catholics and people of other faiths had of that speech you have absolutely no right to cast "shame" on anyone. It's certainly not in keeping with the Christian faith; It's small minded and immature. Others, of good faith and integrity, had very strong reactions because they strongly disagreed with his disparaging comments and obvious misunderstanding of his role that day. I'm certainly not in support of mockery, that said, Butker did a very good job of mocking many in his speech.
TRUE Roman Catholics believe that the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, is INFALLIBLE on matters of faith or morals for the entire church! Since the majority of this jack wad's speech contradicts the position of the Pope on the issues, true Roman Catholics should speak out in OPPOSITION to this hateful, bigoted, misogynist, homophobic speech and shame on those who purport themselves to be Roman Catholics, who are standing up for their faith, when they are in fact going against the head of their church and the doctrine of papal infallibility!! Faithful Roman Catholics take their religious instruction from the Pope, not some arrogant bigot whose big contribution to the world is kicking an odd-shaped ball!
Our society is so upside down, and Butker did a great job in calling us out. Our Catholic faith is a shining light in the world. Learn it, love it, and live it. Thank you Bishop.
@@amoyjoyce1117 Doent sound like it. The Catholic Church was founded by Christ on the Apostles. He who rejects you, rejects me, is a quote from Jesus in the Gospel. That is what faith in His Church is, Faith in Him.
@@amoyjoyce1117why?? Just why?? It’s getting so old seeing these little sly smirky comments from so called Christians against the church and have no idea of Christian history and church teaching. And I know you don’t cause the statement you just made. Biblical canon, theological development, theological terms to explain, maintaining and preserving scriptural and apostolic teachings through the centuries, so on and so on. All this was done by and through the church with the help of the Holy Spirit. So please, with love, think before making rude random comments to another Christian that you should support.
And I suppose you think Jesus rejected people that are different. If you believe this you don't know the old testament or new. And ps the King who had the King James Bible written had 3 male partners. Sad the lies these supposed Christian spread.
@@debbiebrowdy2324 What do you mean by do we think we Jesus would reject someone who is a little different? What do you mean different? And most people who know about biblical history are aware the push and financing for a new English version at the time had a lot of political aspect along side the social and religious, but they did a good job with it. Also yes people are aware king James had some controversial things going on with him. So what items are you concerned about that are lies being spread?
@madisonlee9859 Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Whether you choose to believe that or not, it is true. You either embrace the Truth, or you embrace the spirit of rebellion against Him, which is the mentality of Satan.
I have tears when the bishop mentioned homemaker. I am a wife and a homemaker and a proud mother of 2 daughters that are young professionals now. Sometimes I feel like some women see me as, don’t know .. lazy or no career woman? But I am a happy mother and wife.
I have no idea who Harrison Butker is but he seems wise and gracious in his statement of faithful joy. The Bishop Paprocki is pleasing to hear and his kindly nudge for the faith is like Christian balm for the faithful. Congratulations all round from the UK for a most pleasing video.
We've waited and prayed for this truth to be spoken----at last--- our voice---- we pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten our minds, hearts, and consciences; Thank you Harrison Butler for your 'fiat'----may we go forward with the gift of Fortitude received in Confirmation
Fantastic, Courageous speech of Christ’s Truth and authenticity was Harrison Butker’s! Thank you Bishop Paprocki for your strength in Christ and bravery in relaying His messages! We need more Bishops like you! God Bless You abundantly!
Thank you, Bishop Paprocki for acknowledging the truths and the positives in the speech of our Chiefs’ kicker, Mr Harrison Butker! Kudos to and thank you, Mr. Butker for your courageous witness to truths and your Catholic Faith and encouraging us to be courageous witnesses for The Truth and our Catholic Faith! God bless you Bishop Paprocki and the host of this podcast and Mr. Harrison Butker and family🙏❤️🔥🙏
@@CatholicMailman His iPad or iPhone might have autocorrected Butker to Bukler. Because I’ve had to go back and change the auto corrected to the proper spelling
He didn't speak the truth. Women are individual human beings with equal value to men. Our value is not just in marriage and having children. So if we are not married or don't have children, we have no value? Why doesn't he quit working and stay with his kids? What is the role of being a father and husband? What did he sacrifice for his wife? She had to convert to his religion just to marry him.
This is outstanding. A great witness of true apostolic fatherhood. Thank you, Bp. Paprocki. Christopher J. Malloy, Professor and Chairman, Dept. of Theology. The University of Dallas.
Thank you, dear Bishop! This beautiful interview gives so much encouragement to faithful Catholics far and wide. May God reward your faithfulness to Him and to your flock 🙏❤️
Motherhood and homemaker is the greatest accomplishment a woman has fulfilled and most rewarding with a great man beside them. Thank you Mr Butker great speech Bp for your support.❤️🙏🏽🤗
So, if the greatest accomplishment of a woman is motherhood & homemaker, is the "greatest accomplishment" of a man fatherhood? Is it a man's role as father what makes him the "great man" beside the woman, who has reached her pinnacle by giving birth? No, of course not! According to misogynists like Butker, this bishop & you, men were meant for greater things, while women are placed on this earth to serve men by doing the thing they can't, give birth!! Butker stated that he "would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and children you will bring into this world." Seriously? The women crossing the stage spent as much time, energy, & money to achieve that degree, yet, according to that jack wad, MOST really only did so to get a husband & become a baby factory!! While it is entirely appropriate for the male graduates to to be "thinking about all the promotions and titles ((they're) going to get in (their) career(s)" as they cross the stage to receive the degree they've earned, it is NOT for the female graduates! In fact, according to Butker, the only reason that it would even enter their minds to consider anything beyond getting married & providing their husbands with offspring, is that they “have had the most diabolical lies told to" them!! That this jack wad, whose big contribution to the world is kicking an odd shaped ball and spreading bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, has the tiniest inkling of what most female college graduates want, actually what most women, period, want, is absolutely laughable!! Furthermore, most of his bigoted speech contradicts the stance taken by the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, who, if you are a true Roman Catholic, believe is INFALLIBLE in issues of religion! Therefore, actual good Roman Catholics should speak out AGAINST his speech, NOT in favor of it!!
God bless you Bishop Paprocki. Thank you for hearing the cri du couer of so many faithful, and thanks to Harrison Butker for using the opportunity to make it. Please be assured all true faithful Catholics pray for you and all bishops and priests daily, whether they consiser them "bad" or "good" shepherds.
Exactly to what Bishop said we are being too passive. I have run into “offending” when the true idea is not offending them but simply people don’t want to hear the reality and common sense when it’s wrong and they know it. Thank you your Excellency. 🙏🙏
I second Harrison comment on priests being more concerned about keeping the doors open, when they should be concerned about saving souls. I pray everyday for my priest, my bishop, and the priests and bishops of the world that they understand they are not parish administrators, Our Lord said we should not worry, He will provide!
I as a Knight of Columbus, RECLAIM the month of June to our Lord's Sacred Heart. I cleanse from this month the vileness of the sins of fornication and narcissistic "pride" in evil. May they beg our father for forgiveness and repent.
June is the month of The One True King's Sacred Heart. So there's no need to reclaim anything that wasn't theirs in the first place. They lie and pretend all the time 😄😄 delusional people.
Thank you for this response, social media has been so outright hostile this week it has simply made me want to spend....more time at Mass! But for those moments when we're not at Mass, this is a wonderful and much needed response.
Thank you, your Excellency. I wish more Bishops would speak with clarity and defend the faith in the manner you have done. We don't necessarily need a St. Ambrose or Bishop Sheen, just good fatherly guidance. Thank and may God bless you both.
May God continue to bless Bishop Paprocki and Harrison and his family! I had the thought last night that LGBT could stand for Lost God By Temptation. Think of how many souls that is true for. They desire their temptations over choosing God. Let us pray for them.
Thank Bishop Paprocki for speaking to accept the truth and to stand up for it. I agree with Butker said, and we should support him for speaking the truth. May God bless you both and protect you.
bishops are addressed, your excellency butker resonates because, "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;"
@@Ginger-B153 I couldn’t agree more. I’ve seen too many priests be wishie washie and going along with the newer popular secular ways. When our priests are meant to be leaders of the people and church. Being a Catholic isn’t a popularity contest it’s job is to lead us to heaven
Thank you, good bishop, for speaking the truth. Not just thinking it, but speaking it. God bless you. Please continue. If more people would have your courage, the west could be saved in short order.
I'll be honest, I clicked on the video unsure what direction it would take given Pope Francis' criticism of "Traditional Catholics". I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you.
I got married early on during college, and went on to work in my career for several years before we finally got pregnant (didn't try to prevent it, just turns out we don't get to be surprised by leaving it to chance and have to actually try). After 9 years of marriage, waiting and wanting a child so bad, the thought of it not happening for us was so hard, it felt like we'd be missing out on a whole piece of the human experience. I'm so thankful we finally got our baby, and are expecting a second next month. I left my job the day before I gave birth and never went back. I was a teacher, and I truly loved teaching. Now, I get to do that full time for my own children, and watch every step of their growth.
Isn't a speaker biggest joy is that someone might take something from his message and add value to one self or someone else. I think a family would be a gift to the world.
Thank the good Lord, I cannot find a speech these days that uplifts me so. And this, from this good bishop... starting to hype me up about the church again :)
I am pleased to see that some in the Catholic Faith recognize the challenges. I sent Butker's speech to my daughter so that she would find The Latin Mass. Divine Worship is just that Divine...not human. We are worshipping God, not some rock star. Way to go Harrison! The Quiet Corner of Connecticut!

I tend to prefer the position of Bishop Paprocki and Butker to the more ambiguous statement from the Sisters because I have experienced (through my ministry) the desperation of women in their late 30s-early 40s who chose career over family and realize the negative impact of that choice.
@@mmurph2686 The speech could have been way more encouraging and supportive for the role of mothers without throwing out so much criticism. He was admonishing priests and bishops as well as overlooking other contributions of women. He used the term “stay in your lane” so many times. If someone chooses to weaponize their speech they are going to yield more bitter fruits. He could have chosen to say positive things about the role of mothers as well as the role of consecrated life without assuming such a judgmental air of supremacy, but he chose to be essentially political trying to score points with ultra conservative pundits. He was also essentially throwing out Novus Ordo. This is not a way to open up dialogue about these matters, it is a way to further increase division within the church.
We need such Catholics in today's church and the society. Thank you very much Bishop and Harrison Butker.Courage and grace!
Butker suggested that the Jews are the killers of Christ. Doesn't it bother you that he thinks he knows better than Pope Benedict XVI? Doesn't it bother you that he used Vatican II's efforts to reconcile the Roman Catholic Church's history of Anti-Semitism as an anal wipe? What is wrong with you?
Brilliant!
Thank you, Your Excellency, Bishop Paprocki.
I applaud Bishop Paprocki
It’s about time someone speaks out about what is true in our catholic religion ❤ God bless Harrison Butker and his beautiful family ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely, love to hear it
And yet, Bishop Paprocki couldn't bring himself to admit that Butker propagating the lie that the Jews are killers of Christ, and mispresenting the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023, are a problem. Why do you ignore this? Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets his takes from outlets like TheBlaze, Breitbart, The Daily Wire, and TP USA.
What is true in your religion is your belief and opinion and not an objective fact. If any religion was objective fact, there would be no need for faith, as faith is belief in that which can’t be demonstrated as objective fact.
So, Butker spoke out "about what is true in our catholic religion," did he? REALLY? Well, not according to the head of the Roman Catholic church, the POPE, whose views are diametrically opposed to the hateful, intolerant, bigoted, misogynist views expressed by Butker! As a catholic, I am sure you are aware that, according to Roman Catholic dogma, it is the POPE, who is the ultimate arbiter of what is "true in our catholic religion" and who is INFALLIBLE on issues of religion & morality, and not some reactionary extremist, whose sole contribution to the world is kicking an oddly-shaped ball and condemning and/or maligning those who don't agree with him!
Pro excellent. What a great man, that took nerve. I’ll be a fan of his forever. What a great family he must have. God bless them all, ❤❤❤.🙏🙏🙏. He’s a strong man to tell the truth today, in the USA. Take care of him Lord.
That did not take nerve, that took pride. Something he says he is against.
Harrison is a Real man who support the law, God's Law ! Traditional Catholic Faith Forever and Ever !👍💪🙏⛪
May God Bless Harrison Butker and The Bishop of Illinois
The pope said both are fools.
I don’t think the current Pope is a Christian. To me, he appears to be a communist politician.
And God Bless the ending of this religion.
Thanks, bishop, that is very good of you.
Thank you Bishop Thomas for being such an honest, supportive force for the church and who I deem as another positive force Harrison Butker. Our lost and broken world needs strong men like you both and to speak out with wisdom, lovingly firm love with the blessed platform God has given you. ❤🙏✝️☝️
God bless Harrison Butker, a true Catholic Christian!
I'm relieved to see Bishop Paprocki praising Harrison Butker instead of condemning him. I'm a convert to a traditional Catholicism, and I often feel confused about who my friends are - my own bishop, for example, is expected to liquidate our TLM this year.
But this Bishop seems like he might be friendly.
He closed our parishes for months and months
Annezo.. it is sad that it was pushed to close churches, which was wrong.
Thank God more bishops are seeing the need.. NEED...to stand UP for the Church and her teachings .
@@annezone6b494 Oh. That's unfortunate. Dang, I keep hoping... 🙁
@@loisl5000 Yea, the heck with public health where millions died from Covid. To heck with it. Let them spread the love of Covid.
What a beautiful response to Harrison Butker's Speech!!! I thought how wonderful it was when he stood up for all the good things and yet I was amazed at the number of so-called Catholics who ridiculed him. What in the world are they thinking??? I pray that more men whether they are popular sports figures or regular fathers will stand up for truth!! God bless all of you and thank you Bishop Paprocki for standing up for our faith!!!
Shame on any Catholic or any other person of faith who would Mock him!
He pushed his version of Christianity and so does the Catholic Church. Read the Bible you know the King James version that was written for a King with 3 male partners to get control over his people.
Good Catholics don't refer to other Catholics as "so-called Catholics" when they don't agree with a particular viewpoint. Be better.
@@ruthstorkel9627 Simply because you had a very different interpretation of what millions of Catholics, non-catholics and people of other faiths had of that speech you have absolutely no right to cast "shame" on anyone. It's certainly not in keeping with the Christian faith; It's small minded and immature.
Others, of good faith and integrity, had very strong reactions because they strongly disagreed with his disparaging comments and obvious misunderstanding of his role that day. I'm certainly not in support of mockery, that said, Butker did a very good job of mocking many in his speech.
TRUE Roman Catholics believe that the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, is INFALLIBLE on matters of faith or morals for the entire church! Since the majority of this jack wad's speech contradicts the position of the Pope on the issues, true Roman Catholics should speak out in OPPOSITION to this hateful, bigoted, misogynist, homophobic speech and shame on those who purport themselves to be Roman Catholics, who are standing up for their faith, when they are in fact going against the head of their church and the doctrine of papal infallibility!! Faithful Roman Catholics take their religious instruction from the Pope, not some arrogant bigot whose big contribution to the world is kicking an odd-shaped ball!
Many thanks to the Bishop for his wise counsel. I agree with him whole-heartedly. God bless you, Bishop.
This bishop is awesome! And he’s right! It’s time to speak up and take our church back. Thank you Harrison Butker!
If you are going to do that the Pope must be removed.
The pope said Bishop Thomas John Paprocki is a fool.
Our society is so upside down, and Butker did a great job in calling us out. Our Catholic faith is a shining light in the world. Learn it, love it, and live it. Thank you Bishop.
You have catholic faith ? What is that ? Thank God I have faith in Christ alone not in religion
@@amoyjoyce1117 Doent sound like it. The Catholic Church was founded by Christ on the Apostles. He who rejects you, rejects me, is a quote from Jesus in the Gospel. That is what faith in His Church is, Faith in Him.
@@amoyjoyce1117why?? Just why?? It’s getting so old seeing these little sly smirky comments from so called Christians against the church and have no idea of Christian history and church teaching. And I know you don’t cause the statement you just made. Biblical canon, theological development, theological terms to explain, maintaining and preserving scriptural and apostolic teachings through the centuries, so on and so on. All this was done by and through the church with the help of the Holy Spirit. So please, with love, think before making rude random comments to another Christian that you should support.
And I suppose you think Jesus rejected people that are different. If you believe this you don't know the old testament or new. And ps the King who had the King James Bible written had 3 male partners. Sad the lies these supposed Christian spread.
@@debbiebrowdy2324 What do you mean by do we think we Jesus would reject someone who is a little different? What do you mean different? And most people who know about biblical history are aware the push and financing for a new English version at the time had a lot of political aspect along side the social and religious, but they did a good job with it. Also yes people are aware king James had some controversial things going on with him. So what items are you concerned about that are lies being spread?
Amen and Amen! And I’m not Catholic, I am a conservative Christian, but this is the TRUTH!
Me too.
Butker's speech is powerful because he spoke truth from the heart...
He spoke his beliefs, not truth.
@@madisonlee9859- He spoke both Truth.
Which are his beliefs. He spoke of Gods Truths.
@madisonlee9859 Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Whether you choose to believe that or not, it is true. You either embrace the Truth, or you embrace the spirit of rebellion against Him, which is the mentality of Satan.
@@j2muw667 He spoke his beliefs. He did not speak for all catholics nor all christians.
@@michaelbarry1664 Why are you assuming I do not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ?
I have tears when the bishop mentioned homemaker. I am a wife and a homemaker and a proud mother of 2 daughters that are young professionals now. Sometimes I feel like some women see me as, don’t know .. lazy or no career woman? But I am a happy mother and wife.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love the Bishop's humility and honesty. God bless you bishop
I have no idea who Harrison Butker is but he seems wise and gracious in his statement of faithful joy. The Bishop Paprocki is pleasing to hear and his kindly nudge for the faith is like Christian balm for the faithful.
Congratulations all round from the UK for a most pleasing video.
Your Excellency, you said it best. Thank you for standing and being the beacon that we so desperately need at this time.
I will pray for you.
May God bless Harrison Butker and this Bishop. Greetings from South Africa
We've waited and prayed for this truth to be spoken----at last--- our voice---- we pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten our minds, hearts, and consciences;
Thank you Harrison Butler for your 'fiat'----may we go forward with the gift of Fortitude received in Confirmation
God bless Harrison Butker and God bless Bishop Paproki!
Thank you, Bishop Paprocki, and God bless!!
I just listened to it and it is spot on and should be applauded.
Thank you Bishop for your wonderful witness and guidance for the Christian faith! God bless you!
Motherhood is a great gift from God .We are really special . ❤😂
Why the laughing?
Motherhood can be very sad. Or, it can be supernal. It totally depends on your approach. Choose wisely and live.
Thank you Bishop .You are truly holy and full of humility.Thank you Mr. Butker for your courageous faith.
Fantastic, Courageous speech of Christ’s Truth and authenticity was Harrison Butker’s! Thank you Bishop Paprocki for your strength in Christ and bravery in relaying His messages! We need more Bishops like you! God Bless You abundantly!
Thank you, Bishop Paprocki for acknowledging the truths and the positives in the speech of our Chiefs’ kicker, Mr Harrison Butker! Kudos to and thank you, Mr. Butker for your courageous witness to truths and your Catholic Faith and encouraging us to be courageous witnesses for The Truth and our Catholic Faith! God bless you Bishop Paprocki and the host of this podcast and Mr. Harrison Butker and family🙏❤️🔥🙏
"Pro-God, pro-faith, pro-life, pro-family, and pro-motherhood." Yes 🦾 I'd add pro-men, pro-truth, and pro-tradition.
Yes, God bless Mr. Bukler. We do need more people like him, TO SPEAK UP THE TRUTH. GOD IS FIRST
It’s Butker not Bukler. 😇
Amen! Amen! Brother....
@@CatholicMailman
His iPad or iPhone might have autocorrected Butker to Bukler. Because I’ve had to go back and change the auto corrected to the proper spelling
He didn't speak the truth. Women are individual human beings with equal value to men. Our value is not just in marriage and having children. So if we are not married or don't have children, we have no value? Why doesn't he quit working and stay with his kids? What is the role of being a father and husband? What did he sacrifice for his wife? She had to convert to his religion just to marry him.
@@CatholicMailman Holy cow, cannot forget a misspelling? BUTKER
Bishop Paprocki is a real Shepherd! Thank You, God, for this good Bishop!
Thank you again Bishop!
Your Excellency, your analysis of the Butker message is excellent. ThNKS FOR SPEAKING OUT.
Beautifully spoken, and thank you for speaking up!
What a wonderful speech, given by a wonderful man. God bless him!
❤#7 He's saying that the family is important to both women and men ❤
Maybe they'll bring the dowery back.
Thank you for the opportunity to hear a beloved bishop's opinion on Harris Butker's commencement speech.
He sounds like an amazing husband and Dad and Christian man 💕🙏🏻 loved what he had to say !!
This is a great interview and tremendous faith builder for anyone who is waffling or floundering under the weight of peer pressure.
This is outstanding. A great witness of true apostolic fatherhood. Thank you, Bp. Paprocki. Christopher J. Malloy, Professor and Chairman, Dept. of Theology. The University of Dallas.
thanks for your input.
I think this Bishop really hit the nail on the head. I agree 100% with everything this Bishop said.
Thank you very much. Good to hear what he said and hearing the Bishop's response.
Catholic, and proud of it!!! Go Butker! It helps that I am a Chiefs fan, haha.
As Christians, as Catholics, let us all speak out with courage the truth.
Thank you, Bishop Paprocki, for your humble and honest response.
“… to the heights”
Thank you, dear Bishop! This beautiful interview gives so much encouragement to faithful Catholics far and wide. May God reward your faithfulness to Him and to your flock 🙏❤️
Well said, Excellency.
God bless this ministry. Thumbs up to our Catholic brethren 🙏👏💪
God bless you 🙏 Harrison for defending our Catholic church ⛪️, our Lord, children 🙏
Motherhood and homemaker is the greatest accomplishment a woman has fulfilled and most rewarding with a great man beside them. Thank you Mr Butker great speech Bp for your support.❤️🙏🏽🤗
So, if the greatest accomplishment of a woman is motherhood & homemaker, is the "greatest accomplishment" of a man fatherhood? Is it a man's role as father what makes him the "great man" beside the woman, who has reached her pinnacle by giving birth? No, of course not! According to misogynists like Butker, this bishop & you, men were meant for greater things, while women are placed on this earth to serve men by doing the thing they can't, give birth!! Butker stated that he "would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and children you will bring into this world." Seriously? The women crossing the stage spent as much time, energy, & money to achieve that degree, yet, according to that jack wad, MOST really only did so to get a husband & become a baby factory!! While it is entirely appropriate for the male graduates to to be "thinking about all the promotions and titles ((they're) going to get in (their) career(s)" as they cross the stage to receive the degree they've earned, it is NOT for the female graduates! In fact, according to Butker, the only reason that it would even enter their minds to consider anything beyond getting married & providing their husbands with offspring, is that they “have had the most diabolical lies told to" them!!
That this jack wad, whose big contribution to the world is kicking an odd shaped ball and spreading bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, has the tiniest inkling of what most female college graduates want, actually what most women, period, want, is absolutely laughable!! Furthermore, most of his bigoted speech contradicts the stance taken by the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, who, if you are a true Roman Catholic, believe is INFALLIBLE in issues of religion! Therefore, actual good Roman Catholics should speak out AGAINST his speech, NOT in favor of it!!
Thank you Bishop. I have been waiting for a cleric to speak on this. Thank you Mr Butker
God bless you Bishop Paprocki. Thank you for hearing the cri du couer of so many faithful, and thanks to Harrison Butker for using the opportunity to make it. Please be assured all true faithful Catholics pray for you and all bishops and priests daily, whether they consiser them "bad" or "good" shepherds.
Exactly to what Bishop said we are being too passive. I have run into “offending” when the true idea is not offending them but simply people don’t want to hear the reality and common sense when it’s wrong and they know it. Thank you your Excellency. 🙏🙏
I second Harrison comment on priests being more concerned about keeping the doors open, when they should be concerned about saving souls.
I pray everyday for my priest, my bishop, and the priests and bishops of the world that they understand they are not parish administrators, Our Lord said we should not worry, He will provide!
Thank you, Bishop Paprocki, for speaking the truth and God bless you!
Thank you!
I as a Knight of Columbus, RECLAIM the month of June to our Lord's Sacred Heart. I cleanse from this month the vileness of the sins of fornication and narcissistic "pride" in evil. May they beg our father for forgiveness and repent.
Right on my brother of the
Knights of Columbus
Yessss
June is the month of The One True King's Sacred Heart. So there's no need to reclaim anything that wasn't theirs in the first place. They lie and pretend all the time 😄😄 delusional people.
Amen.
I hope you post that on MSNBC. Better get your armor on first. Lawfare is real.
His speech was awesome!! God bless his heart ❤️ he made God smile!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for this response, social media has been so outright hostile this week it has simply made me want to spend....more time at Mass! But for those moments when we're not at Mass, this is a wonderful and much needed response.
Thank you, your Excellency. I wish more Bishops would speak with clarity and defend the faith in the manner you have done. We don't necessarily need a St. Ambrose or Bishop Sheen, just good fatherly guidance. Thank and may God bless you both.
May God continue to bless Bishop Paprocki and Harrison and his family! I had the thought last night that LGBT could stand for Lost God By Temptation. Think of how many souls that is true for. They desire their temptations over choosing God. Let us pray for them.
God Bless Harrison Butkner! His speech was amazing and very much needed in this world. Thank you, Bishop, for acknowledging this!
Thank Bishop Paprocki for speaking to accept the truth and to stand up for it. I agree with Butker said, and we should support him for speaking the truth. May God bless you both and protect you.
True bishop
Anytime someone points out the breakdown within family and society Witches go off the rails.
Sadly whores too.breaks🙏my heart to see such young women missing out ob family life
bishops are addressed, your excellency
butker resonates because, "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;"
Although not a Catholic, I appreciate this man’s speech about the family. Well done..
It makes me very, very happy to see my Bishop speaking truth like this.
But if we give gentle constructive criticism, we offend them and they shut down. SMH
Good, BUT we need MORE Bishops, speaking out.
This guy was another yes guy. He was portraying exactly what Butkey was speaking against. Oh, the irony.
This is a good bishop and Butker speaks the truth!
Amen ! This Bishop is refreshing!😊
@@Ginger-B153
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve seen too many priests be wishie washie and going along with the newer popular secular ways. When our priests are meant to be leaders of the people and church. Being a Catholic isn’t a popularity contest it’s job is to lead us to heaven
What an awesome interview. Loved the dialogue. Great support for you both from here in Mew Zealand. May God bless you and your ministry.
God was talking to many through Harrison Butkers.. Amen 🙏🏻
Thank you, good bishop, for speaking the truth. Not just thinking it, but speaking it. God bless you. Please continue. If more people would have your courage, the west could be saved in short order.
Alleluia ! Alleluia ! Alleluia ! There is hope+
God bless Butker and everyone who defends him. You are on the right side of history 🙏🏻
I'll be honest, I clicked on the video unsure what direction it would take given Pope Francis' criticism of "Traditional Catholics". I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you.
Mothers and Fathers are the highest... greatest good!!!
AMEN!
"Our Father who art in Heaven ..." It is literally the highest calling. One that God himself chooses.
First of all, Bishop Paprocki
I got married early on during college, and went on to work in my career for several years before we finally got pregnant (didn't try to prevent it, just turns out we don't get to be surprised by leaving it to chance and have to actually try). After 9 years of marriage, waiting and wanting a child so bad, the thought of it not happening for us was so hard, it felt like we'd be missing out on a whole piece of the human experience. I'm so thankful we finally got our baby, and are expecting a second next month. I left my job the day before I gave birth and never went back. I was a teacher, and I truly loved teaching. Now, I get to do that full time for my own children, and watch every step of their growth.
Isn't a speaker biggest joy is that someone might take something from his message and add value to one self or someone else. I think a family would be a gift to the world.
Nice to hear a man express so much love for his wife! Lucky lady !!
Thank the good Lord, I cannot find a speech these days that uplifts me so. And this, from this good bishop... starting to hype me up about the church again :)
From an Eagles Fan God bless you Harrison and God bless you Bishop .
I am pleased to see that some in the Catholic Faith recognize the challenges. I sent Butker's speech to my daughter so that she would find The Latin Mass. Divine Worship is just that Divine...not human. We are worshipping God, not some rock star. Way to go Harrison! The Quiet Corner of Connecticut!
The days are dark, we're being put in situations where we're asked to do what the martyrs of the past willingly gave their lives up for.
