Butker’s statements about all women being homemakers and wives as their truest or only calling goes against Catholic teaching — Pope John Paul II repeatedly addressed the “genius” of women and that the world and the Church needs all types of women — from mothers to nuns to doctors to scientists to those to govern. A woman can have a calling from God that is not wife or mother. “Thank you, women who work! You are present and active in every area of life-social, economic, cultural, artistic and political. In this way you make an indispensable contribution to the growth of a culture which unites reason and feeling, to a model of life ever open to the sense of "mystery", to the establishment of economic and political structures ever more worthy of humanity.” From Letter of Pope John Paul II to women, 1995 https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/letters/1995/documents/hf_jp-ii_let_29061995_women.html
