Is what Butker meant by his statement, as some of you suggest, yet THIS

quote:
quote:
"I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you," he said. "Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world."

Is what he said.

Then yeah, he did a poor job of communicating his message. It’s not the end of the damn world, but it is pretty obvious.

Because, as people have said, he was talking to a Catholic audience at a Catholic institution. There's a reason that Catholics are interpreting it as this:

quote:
Hes basically saying don’t sacrifice a family at the alter of your career.

That is literally what he said. He didn't say women shouldn't work. He didn't say women shouldn't work and have kids. And as some non-religious people in this very thread - what he said is true. Family SHOULD be the most important thing in your life. IAnd if you do it right, it probably will be.

So when I explain things to you, I'm doing so so you can understand the context, and understand that all he means is "Family first," but his context is from a Catholic perspective.

BUT as a catholic - Yes - It's true Evil things in this world - like trying to get mothers out of the home which is almost the entire point of modern feminism - is diabolical in Origin, because for me, the world is far more than just what we see. And their are forces, good and bad, at work in it.

Do you get it that if I didn't believe in the spiritual nature of the world that I wouldn't be Catholic?

It's like you think you should allow people to be religious, but not ACTUALLY believe in their beliefs. Like diabolical things don't ACTUALLY exist. It's all just made up. There's not actually a God. There's not actually a spiritual world. And that's why I think your use of the term zealotry in this instance is a huge problem. Because you view zealotry as just actual belief. Do you get that?
