A commenter guessed they were probably Benedictines. He's right & they're the same nuns who helped found Benedictine College, where Butker spoke!
From Fr Z's Blog
Today things keep rolling along and I, uncharacteristically, am paying some attention.
In regard to the terrific speech that Harrison Butker made for commencement at Benedictine College, as the lib world has a spittle-flecked nutty, I was sent these two screenshots…
What do you suppose is their average age?
Here’s something to think about…
Gower Abbey, in Gower, MO, is there the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles are. They have so many vocations that they have to found daughter houses. They are building a huge new place in Ava, MO and a bishop in England is helping them take over an old abbey.
The Benedictines of Mount Saint Scholastica are associated (how much is hard to tell) with Benedictine College in Atchinson, KS. These two communities, one at death’s door and the other bursting life, are about 45 minutes apart by car.
A look at the website of the lib sisters is enlightening. They have a photo gallery!
The shot of sister carrying the Blessed Sacrament on Holy Thursday, with a humeral veil, is striking.
The Benedictines of Mary, at Gower Abbey, also have a photo gallery.
Compare and contrast.
Meanwhile, a friend informs me that Butker’s jersey is now among the top sellers in NFL jerseys.
And there’s this from the NYPost… it’s good to know that Archbishop Naumann is still a priest.
He is still a deacon too.
About the diaconate, I saw this at The Pillar….
[…]
This week marked the deadline for the world’s bishops’ conferences to submit feedback ahead of this October’s session of the synod on synodality, and several reports claimed significant support for the admission of women to the diaconate.
Australia, Austria, Luxembourg, and Switzerland all posted their reports online and, as Luke Coppen noted this morning, claimed “widespread agreement” for a female diaconate.
[…]
According to the German bishops’ portal, the teaching on sacramental ordination being reserved to men alone “isn’t infallible doctrine,” and the cardinal appeared to agree, saying “It can be changed. It needs arguments and time.”
[…]
Maybe the Benedictines of Atchison can get involved!
UPDATE:
Meanwhile, somehow this fits right in…
