The slain Charlie Kirk, a truly righteous and godly man is seen in the video above, politely mopping the floor with a college woman (with purple hair) on her knowledge of scripture. As one would expect of the late Mr Kirk, whose young life was cruelly snuffed out a few days ago, he debated the young women with courtesy and respect and ignored her many unneeded reminders that she was a Catholic.
Her ignorance of scripture was an embarrassment. Still, this is not the fault of young Catholics like her, it is the result of their lazy and sloppy instruction. This is a common problem in the Catholic Church.
Since my conversion, I have found, especially among young Catholics, that many of them have insufficient knowledge of scripture and church teachings. I was blessed when catechized, as it took place at the Church of Our Saviour, Fr Rutler’s church. Two eminently knowledgeable young men led the weekly classes, at which we read, or were assigned to read, all or most of the Catechism. Occasionally, we were even tested and given writing assignments. The classes met weekly for seven months, until Easter Eve, when were received (all of us made it, happily) into the Holy Catholic Church, a memorable and happy day for me.
Whatever your religion, though, we must pray for the repose of the soul of the good and pious Charlie Kirk. Also we should pray for his widow and two young children.
As for Mr Kirk’s murderer, may God have mercy on his soul.
THE TAOS TATLER.
