EP 92 // Football, Feminism, and Freaky Latin Mass: The Harrison Butker Controversy

Join the Bewitches, Amy and Krista, as they dive into the controversial commencement speech that Kansas City Chiefs kicker, Harrison Butker, gave at Benedictine Catholic College. They discuss supernatural, spooky stuff, and a bit of football (who would've thought)? The Bewitches highlight how Butker's remarks spurred a storm of reactions for his and TLM’s not-so-inclusive views on gender roles, LGBTQ rights, and modern Catholic practices. Amidst humor and candid banter, Amy and Krista explore the religious and cultural implications of Butker's speech, its the backlash, and share their personal takes on the growing extremism within religious and social spheres. If you love a mix of supernatural talk and real-world drama, this episode is for you! Peace Bewitches.
