Congratulations, Butker. You just demonstrated that you're so utterly out of step, not just with the general Catholic population but with the average Joe, that you appear to be dancing the waltz while everyone else is doing the Charleston. You would disempower women, shove the LGBTQ+ community back into the closet, and generally take America back to the days of Father Knows Best and Leave It To Beaver. You would insist on the patriarchy because why not? It benefits YOU, and you can't be bothered to notice that it dumps on everyone else who doesn't want to conform to your men-first-all-else-last paradigm. I can't imagine that you have any idea how much the US and indeed the world has benefited from the empowerment of women, people of color, and those of us who are LGBTQ+. I suspect that you don't see it because you don't want to see it. That would upset your apple cart.

How about you go back to kicking field goals. We can live our lives without your "help."
