Worldsaway - Charlie Kirk was a Protestant. He had a protestant outlook. I am not denying or disputing that. What I have been disputing is your (and other posters') tendency to make his words sound worse than they are. You are not reporting honestly and I don't like that. You're fueling a witch hunt. That is what I'm disputing.
What I'm suggesting - note the distinction - is that given that there was a spiritual shift, from his previous thinking, towards Catholicism - a softening, an interest - it gives one hope that he was not damned. God judges the spirit - the sincerity of a soul - and this is backed by scripture: 1 Corinthians 1-13.
This clearly means a man may possess great faith and even spiritual gifts, but without charity, he is considered nothing. This emphasizes the importance of love as the greatest virtue in life. I concede that Charlie's love was misguided and ecuмenical. But it was there and according to the testimonies of his friends, he applied it minutely to his everyday day life. He even tweeted - May 9th "If the new Pope defends the faith, defends the West, defends biology and eternal truths, I will be his greatest fan." The backstory to this is Kirk had a real problem with Pope Francis and his 'Liberation Marxist theology' to use Charlie's words. This hindered his conversion.
You may be right, he may be hell. But he also could be in purgatory. I repeat, people - especially Protestants who are brought up to believe it is superstitious Popish devotion - who start saying the daily rosary will not be damned. I believe that with all my heart. Our Lady will intervene. Would he be saved as a Protestant? No. But I firmly believe Our Lady intervened (rewarded) and gained him the graces to become a Catholic in an instance. I cannot prove it and he had made no declaration for the Catholic faith. But markers indicate that a Catholic love was there; that he desired to embrace the truth and was open to being convinced. Our prayers, offered up now, can help win him that miraculously grace for God lives in the eternal present, as St. Padre Pio teaches. Why would you not want to at least try to help save his soul? Why are you so intent on having him damned. To my mind, that is extremely disturbing.
Fueling a "witch hunt?" What are you talking about? The crazy "witch hunters" are those (like you) taken in by the Kirk Mass Psychosis phenomenon, which includes the lies about him intending to convert to Catholicism.
We have provided objective evidence that Charlie Kirk remained a firm, unrepentant heretical evangelical Protestant until the day he died. Almost no one believes this truth if you use social media as the measure. The general public have bought the lying narrative of influencers like Candace Owens and Novus Ordo virtue signalers that Kirk was in the process of converting to Catholicism. The purveyors of falsehood have said:
1. Kirk showed a love for Mary.
False. He blasphemed her in the video.
2. Kirk had been praying a daily rosary.
No evidence. And taken with #1 extremely unlikely.
3. Kirk had his marriage convalidated days before the Utah appearance.
No evidence. And not a conversion.
4. Kirk showed appreciation for the Catholic Faith.
False. He denigrated the Faith in the the Mary video.
5. Kirk showed signs of conversion.
False. He was participating in Protestant events up to his death.
A "witch hunt" implies some kind of hysteria (which comes from the Latin word for uterus). It is you who are participating in the hysterical emotional response to the Charlie Kirk psyop, not the people on this forum who are providing objective proof refuting your emotionalism.
And, you keep ignoring what the Church has always taught about the danger of scandal in suggesting that public, notorious heretics can be saved. The Church denies a Catholic funeral and the
publicizing of any prayers for them. You ignore the Church dogma and laws. You tell anyone and everyone who will listen that you are praying for him.
You defend Charlie Kirk. But reject the wisdom and counsel of the Church. Why? You claim for "charity." Can you not understand that it is false charity if it contradicts the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church teaching? You make the same error as Eve. Stop second-guessing God and his Church.
Instead ask yourself, why have those influencers (like Owens) been pushing this false narrative? Why was the Kirk Mary video released with the blasphemies removed? Why have certain Novus Ordo "authorities" claimed Kirk did this and that with no objective proof? In short, why are these people bent on manipulating Catholics specifically?
