The Catholic
commentariat loves to dismiss Protestant critiques of Rome as ignorant or
simplistic. But sometimes the outsider sees more clearly than the insider. And
sometimes, tragically, it takes a Protestant to say the obvious: if the pope
speaks heresy, maybe he isn’t the pope.
Charlie Kirk, an evangelical
who died wearing a St. Michael medal around his neck, had that clarity. He
looked at the clown show in Rome under Francis, and then under Leo, and
called it what it was: Marxism dressed up as Christianity.
Below is a roundup of
Kirk’s words, sharper and braver than most so-called “conservative
cardinals,” and what they reveal about the crisis in the Church.
1. Francis: The Pope of Empty Pews
From as early as 2014,
Kirk mocked Francis’s impotence:
By 2015, he was
hammering Francis for missing opportunities to end abortion:
And by 2016, he
was skewering the hypocrisy of a Vatican walled fortress lecturing America on
immigration:
Kirk wasn’t fooled
by the “who am I to judge” media darling. He saw a pope who could bless Biden
but never rebuke Obama.
In 2023 he went
further, pairing Francis with Andy Stanley as men ensnared by the same
“heretical trap,” thinking souls can be won by compromise:
2. “Maybe
He’s Not the Pope”
Kirk’s most prophetic
line came in a conversation with Michael Knowles:
“If my pastor starts saying
crazy things, I find a new pastor. So if your pope starts saying crazy
things, maybe he’s not the Pope.”

That is the scandal of our
time, spoken bluntly by a Protestant. Millions of Catholics have thought the
same in their hearts, but most Catholic “leaders” refuse to speak it. Kirk
had the courage to articulate the thought that terrifies bishops and
cardinals.
3. Leo: The Chicago Globalist in a
Cassock
When Prevost became Leo
XIV, Kirk gave him the benefit of the doubt. He prayed publicly that the new
pope might usher in a “Golden Age of Christianity”:
That was May
2025—days before Kirk realized the game was already rigged.
Within a week, he was
warning his audience:
Charlie Kirk saw
what many Catholic commentators refused to see. He recognized the telltale
signs: the George Floyd retweets, the open-borders messaging, the continuity
of Francis’s agenda under a new face.

4. “Why is the Pope Targeting the
Latin Mass?”
Here is where Kirk
absolutely nailed it. While conservative Catholics were wringing their hands,
Kirk said the quiet part out loud:
“We knew that ‘Catholic’
Joe Biden’s FBI was targeting the Latin Mass, but why is the Pope?”
That one tweet exposes
the entire fraud. Kirk instinctively understood that the Latin Mass is the
barometer. No Protestant loyalty to Vatican politics, no fear of losing
privileges, just a straight shot of truth: Biden’s regime and Francis’s
Vatican are on the same side, against tradition.
For a man outside the
Church, Kirk grasped what bishops inside the Church refuse to say. The
suppression of the Mass of the Ages is proof that these men are not defending
Christ’s Church, they are dismantling it.
5. A Protestant Outsider With
Catholic Instincts
Kirk was no theologian,
and he admitted his stumbling blocks: transubstantiation, Marian dogmas, the
papacy itself. But in practice, he lived with instincts more Catholic than
many bishops.
He wore the St. Michael
medal. He mocked heretical statements on 60 Minutes:
He knew Truth saves
souls, not compromise. And he recognized that if Rome preaches Marxism, it
ceases to speak for Christ.
Conclusion: The Judgment on the
Cardinals
It is a profound
indictment when an evangelical commentator saw more clearly than the princes
of the Church. While cardinals mutter about “forgetting” Fiducia Supplicans,
Charlie Kirk declared: “Maybe he’s not the Pope.”
Kirk’s words leave the
hierarchy without excuse. If he, outside the household of faith, could
recognize the stench of apostasy, then what is stopping the shepherds who
possess both the authority and the duty to act? Silence for the sake of
“unity” is no excuse. Souls are at stake.
Charlie Kirk died wearing
the cross of St. Michael, not because he believed the Vatican’s lies, but
because he loved the truth of Christ. That alone makes him a rebuke to the
postconciliar papacy and its silent collaborators.Chris Jackson from Hiraeth In Exile <bigmodernism@substack.com>

Charlie Kirk, as did so many Catholics, could see that Pope Francis was out of control, effectively making new doctrine on the fly, doctrine that contradicted everything that had gone before.
ReplyDeleteBut Charlie Kirk dared to speak out, he identified the elephant in the room. Speaking the truth cost him his life. Most Catholics do not speak out, they know the unspoken rules of the church, don't comment on the elephant in the room.
This mind set gave us the sex abuse crisis, which is now bankrupting dioceses all over the world with compensation payments, and will hit New Zealand soon. This happened because most Catholics ignored the elephant in the room, which was that a huge proportion of priests were active homosexuals and they were sodomising every altar boy and seminarian they could lay their hands on. Thousands of victims and parents knew what had been happening, but next to none spoke out.
The response of Pope Francis, he sanctioned blessings for sodomite couples, effectively sanctioning sodomy.
Charlie Kirk and a few others are the visible conscience the Catholic Church now lacks.
