New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan has been getting flak for comparing Charlie Kirk to Saint Paul, but those who are incensed over this may be missing the point.
Dolan admitted that he did not know who Kirk was until Kirk was murdered. And yet he saw the “overwhelming sense of sorrow” and hints of “renewal” in the outpouring of love for Kirk after the evil perpetrated on Utah Valley University’s campus. On Fox & Friends days later, Dolan said, “The more I learned about him, I thought: this guy’s a modern-day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, he’s an evangelist, he’s a hero,” and “he’s one, I think, that knew what Jesus meant when he said the truth will set you free.”
