Super Bowl champion kicker Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs wasn't afraid to let his views be known in a recent sit-down with EWTN News for a wide-ranging interview last week that hit on some hot-button topics.

In addition to discussing his team's victory over the San Francisco 49ers in last month's Super Bowl, Butker, a member of the Catholic fraternal order Knights of Columbus, outlined the vital role faith and family play in ensuring the health of society as a whole.

He also touched on abortion, fatherhood and his strong opposition to a Catholic church hosting a funeral for a trans-identified activist.
