It's misleading because she's not grateful.
22 hours ago, noseybutt said:I took the nuns statement as an accurate representation of Dogma. I also believe that Benedictine College attracts a trad Catholic community that is outside Dogma.
The fact that the nuns do the work and yet were not consulted on the graduation speaker is unfortunate and speaks volumes about the politics at the school.
There's a really good article from the Associated Press about the incident called "Why Harrison Butker's speech was embraced at Benedictine College's commencement (link).".
This stood out to me as important:
QuoteIn some ways, Benedictine College sounds like a typical Catholic college. Its “mission as a Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts, residential college is the education of men and women within a community of faith and scholarship,” according to its website.
But its home to more traditional expressions of Catholicism, such as the Latin Mass, all-night prayer vigils and a strict code of conduct. Its mission statement further cites its commitment to “those specific matters of faith of the Roman Catholic tradition, as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ and handed down in the teachings of the Church.”
Also the next part:
QuoteThe school gets a high ranking from the Cardinal Newman Society, a group that touts nearly two-dozen conservative colleges that exhibit what it calls “faithful Catholic education.” That includes upholding church teachings and Catholic identity while providing ample Masses and other devotional activities in shaping their students.
The society seeks to differentiate schools that “refuse to compromise their Catholic mission” from those that have become “battlegrounds for today’s culture wars.” Others praised by the society include Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., Ave Maria University in Florida and Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio.
I saw several people on Reddit compare Benedictine to this Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio.
It goes on to quote students, not all of whom liked his remarks.
QuoteVideo of the commencement shows virtually all the graduates and spectators rising to a standing ovation, but student interviews showed a more mixed reaction.
It quotes the nuns who helped found the college at the end, which goes along with what was previously said.
28 minutes ago, Bluebirdbluebell said:I wouldn't call that a lie. If she found out she's pregnant, she would probably go through with the pregnancy.
It’s misleading. She acts like she’s quiverful but she’s not.
