Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. Photo: CNS NFL star Harrison Butker initially thought the Faith wasn’t for him, saying during an interview with EWTN, “it pushed me away. I was like…ah this is just, this is just not me. It doesn’t go with the world”. However, it ended up attracting him to it, in his own words, “because it was so different from the world”.
A regular attendee of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), the 25-year-old kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs also serves at the altar frequently.
“It’s opened my eyes to the tradition of the Faith. You know, with Saint Augustine, with Thomas Aquinas, with all of these great saints…They were saying the same Latin prayers. It’s just very beautiful, you know? I feel very united,” he said during the same interview.
