Cardinal timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York and member of President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, described the late Charlie Kirk as a “modern-day Saint Paul” in a recent Fox news interview. Dolan praised Kirk as a missionary, evangelist, and hero who understood the biblical phrase “The truth will set you free.” Kirk, a well-known christian conservative commentator<\/a>, was tragically shot and killed while speaking at a university in Utah. Dolan noted Kirk’s respectful approach in political debates grounded in his christian faith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However,Dolan’s comparison of Kirk to the significant Christian figure St. Paul has sparked criticism. Former Congressman Joe walsh, now a Democrat, called the remarks embarrassing, while the National Catholic Reporter strongly rejected the comparison, citing allegations that Kirk expressed racism, sexism, and xenophobia. The publication condemned the murder but disputed the saintly portrayal of Kirk.<\/p>\n

Kirk’s funeral is scheduled to be held at the Arizona Cardinals stadium, with several prominent political figures<\/a>, including former President Trump, expected to attend.
