From the silence of almost every bishop on the attacks against Harrison Butker after he delivered the commencement address at Benedictine College, I strongly suspect that the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ will only be preached in small pockets of conservative Catholic circles. There are too many "cafeteria Catholics" in the parishes that might be offended by his words that many diocese consider discussion of certain topics of the faith off limits. I suspect JPII's Theology of the Body is one of those topics.

Have a look at what’s going down in Australia at the moment. Your assessment is far too parochial.

As a woman, I don’t see it from your (male) perspective.

This assumption lacks the recognition that "cafeteria Catholics" also exist in "conservative Catholic" circles as well.
