When Charlie Kirk told Bishop Joseph Brennan a week before his death, that he was “this close” to becoming Catholic, Charlie understood the geopolitical consequences of this decision. The spiritual movement of Charlie Kirk towards Catholicism at the end of his life also coincided with his move away from a blind support for the 1948 State of Israel. Charlie was well aware of the clear doctrine that the Catholic Church is the new Israel, something the Church has taught since the days of Saint Paul. This teaching directly opposed what many Evangelical “dispensationalists” hold that Christians have a “Biblical Mandate” to support Israel.
While continuing to courageously speak out on the danger of Islam for the West and the evil of Hamas, he also began to understand clearly that there had to be room to disagree with Netanyahu’s government. When JD Vance told the “Charlie Kirk Show” in the days after his death that Charlie made a personal trip last June to the White House to oppose Israel’s war on Iran, he was simultaneously breaking away from dispensationalism. Whatever was moving Charlie to attend Catholic Mass, including the Easter Vigil last spring, along with his growing love for Our Lady is ultimately unknown, save for what may be revealed later from his dear wife, Erika.
However, it remains a fact. As he moved closer to Catholicism it coincided with a chronological shift away from a blind support for a foreign government. People were noticing with the accompanying major pressure put on him by certain pro-Netanyahu donors in the last weeks of his life. As to who killed Charlie Kirk, we await eagerly for the FBI and internet sleuths to do their work.
Whether he was killed, “in Odium Fidei” (out of hatred for the Faith), by a group of people or merely by a lone crazed assassin is still unknown. Judgement is suspended until then. THE TAKEAWAY: Your faith impacts your politics.
Who you worship and yes even your particular religious denomination will affect policy. The two can’t be severed from each other. For Catholic Americans, the message is clear. Know your faith. Stand by it and be proud of it. Christendom alone could have produced the most amazing country on earth. It is high time then for us to put the heart of Christendom, Jesus and Mary, His chosen mediatrix, at the forefront of everything we do. In doing so, we will make America truly great again.
