If you are going to make a point, please make it truthfully and accurately, and in context. Charlie Kirk was simply stating that he had difficulty accepting certain Catholic beliefs including the Assumption and Immaculate conception. He did not word it as an attack - that was not his intention - he was merely being honest about his own beliefs and how he thought these dogmas had no scriptural bases, hence his difficulty. He also said he was open to debate. Regarding being 'blessed' and prayed over by a evangelical minister, it is something he is used to and sees no harm in it. I've witnessed Catholics who subject themselves to the same. The fact he was saying the daily rosary with his wife - and I can tell you that I have Protestant relatives who would recoil in horror at such a 'Papist' devotion - and attending Sunday Mass is very telling. It shows his heart was open even if he did not have everything right. An honest person would say, "well, that sounds hopeful, great to hear that. He still seems to be attached to his Protestant beliefs, but just in case I'll pray for his soul." THAT, is a normal Catholic response. But no, you and your ilk are determined to have him damned. Even I'm damned according to some of you. You really are a bunch of stiff-necked Pharisees.
Yes, Boru, denying the Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Assumption of Our Lady is an attack on her, the Church, the Faith, and God. Over 100k people watched that video of Kirk denying those Dogmas, how many of them went away from that video confirmed in their error? I don't give a shit how politely he couched his heresies, they were all the more subtle and dangerous given how he prefaced them by paying lip service to some of Our Lady's admirable traits. What person "close to conversion" would leave that video up on their YouTube channel? How "close to conversion" does someone need to be to realize the tremendous damage he has done by spreading his heretical and blasphemous views across the years to millions of people, and make a public apology and retraction of said errors? How "close to conversion" does someone need to be to reject a false blessing from a female minister? To know not to praise the Mormons and say we need a strong Mormon Church in the US?
Evidence continues to come out..real, actual evidence..that shows that Kirk was in no ways a Catholic, or "near Catholic", in the months, weeks, and days leading up to his death. Meanwhile, you are forced to rely on the same couple bits of HEARSAY to support your ridiculous claims of there being "every possibility" of Kirk being saved..and even a martyr. This hearsay being how you justify defending and minimizing Kirk's heretical and blasphemous words and actions. Like I said, there is something seriously wrong with you
And any "Catholics" you have witnessed receive blessings from non-Catholic ministers or whoever else were just as Catholic as Kirk, that should be a given to any honest, "trad" Catholic.
My "ilk" and I understand the necessity of belonging to the Mystical Body of Christ in order to be saved. You and your ilk deny a thrice defined Dogma of the Faith, you deny that Kirk was given sufficient grace and time to actually become a member of the Church prior to his death. You and your ilk achieve nothing other than being in part responsible for the damnation of souls
