Charlie Kirk: A Catholic Response | Truth, Love, and Courage in a Broken World | Fr. Jonathan Meyer

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death, Fr. Meyer reflects on his witness to truth and courage in a world filled with confusion and violence. Like John the Baptist and the martyrs before him, Charlie spoke boldly about life, marriage, and the dignity of every human person — and he paid the ultimate price.

 

This homily calls us as Catholics to engage the world not with silence or fear, but with love rooted in truth, compassion, and conviction. We are reminded of Jesus’ words: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:27–28).

 

🙏 Pray for Charlie’s family, for all victims of violence, and for courage to live out the Gospel without fear.
