Order of nuns slams boss for comparing Charlie Kirk to saint: 'false prophets'

A group of New York nuns are criticizing Cardinal Timothy Dolan's praise of late MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk and likening him to “a modern-day St. Paul," saying his words "do not reflect the qualities of a saint." "We grieve every loss of life and unequivocally condemn the killing of Mr. Kirk," Sisters of Charity of New York wrote in a statement.
"What Cardinal Dolan may not have known is that many of Mr. Kirk’s words were marked by racist, homophobic, transphobic, and anti-immigrant rhetoric, by violent pro-gun advocacy, and by the promotion of Christian nationalism. These prejudicial words do not reflect the qualities of a saint. To compare Mr. Kirk to St. Paul risks confusing the true witness of the Gospel and giving undue sanction to words and actions that hurt the very people Jesus calls us to love."
Dolan, American prelate in the Catholic Church and the nuns' boss, compared Kirk to St. Paul the Apostle, an influential leader of the early Christian church, during a conversation with Fox and Friends earlier this month. "He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free,'" Dolan said.
The nuns urged Dolan and church leadership "to lift up witnesses whose lives truly reflect the Gospel of Jesus Christ – lives of humility, justice, compassion, and peace."

Thank you Sisters of Charity! Please continue to speak up with faith and courage.
He's defending a committed racist and a misogynist. Dolan's a backer of tRUMP too. What a repulsive a-hole.
