And speaking of abortion, it was fitting for the audience. Criticizing the president his actions not being a “good Catholic” was out of line.
The church has two types of sins…which are kind of like “you’re only human” sins. Then there are mortal sins, which are eternal damnation in hell. There aren’t different levels of mortal sin…eternal damnation is eternal damnation.
And abortion is a mortal sin according to the church. And Biden has “non catholic” views of it. But did he realize that in the audience at that graduation were women who were on the pill, or a depo provera shot, or patch, or IUD. There were men in that audience who wore a condom, preventing his God given seed from performing the function God intended it to perform. And birth control is also considered a mortal sin in the church. Something that the vast majority of those graduates…and even some of their parents, are doing will get them the same eternal punishment that Biden will suffer. And here is his quote:
Our 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,”
“He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I’m sure to many people it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice,” Butker continued.
“Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues,” he said. “Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.”
There’s the phrase “cafeteria Catholic” - But citing Biden for his sin and mentioning other equally nasty sins, but leaving out a mortal sin that his audience has and is doing kind of shows he doesn’t condemn EVERY sin he church considers mortal
Bottom line…talk about abortion all you want. Talk about any issue all you want. But don’t call out a person for their violation of that tenet while giving millions of Catholics a pass on an equally severe tenet. The church considers them both to be mortal sins,yet he is giving a pass on millions of other Catholics. And I’d argue that if contraception is a sin, then going to confession once a week or once a month to “confess you sin” while continuing to commit the sin is actually worse. A devout Catholic that has had an abortion will confess it and it will stay in her heart, mind and soul the rest of her life. They are sincere in asking forgiveness. Ask my ex wife about that. Someone who confesses using birth control once a week or once a month isn’t being sincere in asking for forgiveness and makes a mockery of the sacrament of Reconciliation… You know…sin on Saturday and get forgiven on Sunday. Minor detail that many good Catholics, such as Harrison Butker seem to overlook
I guess he also blasted Faucci for the covid vaccine because they apparently use aborted fetuses to create it. Yet, the Pope…the leader of the church…encouraged Catholics to get the shot. I didn’t listen to his speech, but did he call out the Pope?
It’s all fiction and proof people will believe anything.
