From last Friday’s New York Post:
Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Friday hailed Charlie Kirk as a “modern-day Saint Paul” – saying the slain conservative activist’s “gracious” debating style “can teach us something.”
Dolan, one of the leading figures in the Catholic Church, said he didn’t know who the Turning Point USA co-founder was when Kirk was fatally shot on a Utah college campus Sept. 10 — but then was quickly impressed as he started researching him.
“The more I learned about him, I thought, ‘This guy’s a modern-day Saint Paul,’ ” Dolan told “Fox and Friends.” “He was a missionary, he’s an evangelist, he’s a hero. He’s one I think that knew what Jesus meant when he said the truth will set you free.”
Okay, I think Charlie Kirk was a pretty awesome guy, great American, and shining example of living the Christian faith.
But a “modern-day St. Paul”?
Let’s not get carried away.
Child of God, husband, father, grandfather, rabblerouser, songwriter, pot stirrer, waiting for the King.
