“You've been so vocal in your support for the murder of innocent babies that I'm sure it seems to many people that you can be Catholic and pro-choice,” he said via OutKick.

“You are not alone. From the man behind the COVID lockdowns to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies among America's youth, they all have one obvious thing in common: They are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic “It's not enough on its own.”

Butker implored the graduates to understand and “stop pretending that the church of Nice is a winning proposition” and to “never confuse charity with cowardice.”

“The world around us says we should keep our beliefs to ourselves as long as they go against the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion,” Butker added. “We are afraid to tell the truth, because now, unfortunately, the truth is in the minority.”

Butker also criticized Biden for “poor leadership” that had “negatively affected” their lives.

“While COVID may have played a role during his formative years, it is not the only one,” he added. “Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted important life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as growing support for degenerate cultural values ​​and media, all arise of the omnipresence of disorder”.

The veteran kicker hasn't shied away from his opinion on abortion.
