Charlie Kirk Assassination: A Catholic Bishop Speaks Out (with Bishop Joseph Strickland)

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Bishop Joseph Strickland to discuss his recent pastoral letter “The Shot That Shook the Church,” published on Pillars of Faith. When a bold Protestant voice was suddenly silenced, many Catholics found themselves looking outside the Church for courage, and Bishop Strickland challenges us to ask why the Bride of Christ has grown timid and why the world now looks elsewhere for prophets and heroes. Together we explore the spiritual and cultural implications of this event, the Church’s response and missed opportunities, the urgent need for renewed courage and bold Christian witness, and practical steps for rekindling the fire of faith in our time.
