AdvertisementIn a statement released Friday, the sisters of Mount St. Scholastica said they “do not believe that Harrison Butker’s comments in his 2024 Benedictine College commencement address represent the Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts college that our founders envisioned and in which we have been so invested.
“Instead of promoting unity in our church, our nation, and the world, his comments seem to have fostered division.
These women have made a tremendous difference in the world in their roles as wives and mothers and through their God-given gifts in leadership, scholarship, and their careers.”The Benedictine Sisters are a founding institution and sponsor of Benedictine College, according to the Mount St. Scholastica website.
Butker’s jersey sales appear to be rising significantly since he delivered the 20-minute speech.
