Bishop Baron Kirk links to kill threats against civil dialogue

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital after delivering it to the Red Red Massions of Sermon for Lawyers and Catholic Judges in Minnesota, Bishop Robert Baron He warned that the brutal killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk represents a cultural collapse of America – not only because of the tragedy itself, but because it symbolizes the attack on freedom of expression and civil dialogue.

Baron argued that Kirk’s killing was hesitantly resonated because he “did not die with a pistol, knife or hand grenade in his hand, but a microphone.” For Baron, the attack reveals that something “essential to our civilization is at risk of being lost.”

“A spokesman inside the St. Paul Cathedral Kirk’s death The foundations of American civilian life were shook because it was struck in the heart of free and open dialogue. “Every person is an endless dignity, and without this confession, the conversation turns into violence.”

Baron Kirk described as “a great intelligence man, magic and the best of the heart.” He said that Charlie embodies a tradition of open debate that extends to the roots of Western civilization.

Cardinal Doulan predicts that the assassination of Charlie Kirk will raise the revival of faith among young people

“Charlie, as thousands of videos on YouTube, are committed to opening the dialogue, especially on the campus of universities.”

The bishop explained that this tradition depends on two assumptions of the rulings: the dignity of the individual and the objectivity of the truth.

“There is a rational structure for the world and the moral values ​​that anyone, by virtue of being a rational creature, can attract.”

He added that both principles are based on God. “Thomas Jefferson knew that human rights were rooted in this divine soil:” We retain these facts to be intuitive, and that all men were created equally, and that they give their Creator with some unusable rights. “

Experts warn of the left celebrations of the death of Charlie Kirk, a dangerous shift in politics

Baron said that Kirk himself understood that faith was central: “He has always made it clear that the most important thing in his life – the thing he wanted to remember more – was not his party’s affiliation or political philosophy but it Christian faith“

Quoted from the 2006 Regency’s speech from Pope Benedict XVI, Baron warned that when the cause is abandoned in favor of the power of will and ideology, the debate inevitably collapses to repression and violence.

“If we make a reason for the will, the dialogue will tend to move to persecution and violence … We have simply left with a struggle of the commandments.”

He pointed to a disturbing statistic: “34 percent of university students feel that it is sometimes permissible to respond to a speaker on campus violently.” To Baron, this number emphasizes the urgency of Kirk.

“To the point of losing the consequent traditions of the dialogue in which Charlie stood, we will continue to see bombs and bullets fly.”

Baron said that one of the “most dual” reactions to Kerk’s killing is festive positions from some professors and government officials. “Without religion, conditions are exposed to the civilian conversation at the deadly danger.”

While more Americans resort to ideology instead of faith, he warned that “a common sense of human dignity and objective morals is diminishing and forced public discourse.”

Addressing judges, Lawyers and legislators It was assembled for the red mass, and Baron said that part of the noble purpose of the law is to protect these particular principles.

“The positive law is established within the natural law, which nests itself within the eternal law – the structure of the divine mind.”

He pointed out that Martin Luther King Junior was based on this tradition in his “message from Birmingham prison.”

“The law, like reason and speech, is not the function of will or tool in the hands of the powerful; it is an expression of divine slogans that create human life and invite us and call us from darkness to light.”

Baron closed his sermon to search for both the legal profession and the country itself.

“The law has a great moral and spiritual purpose, because without these institutions, we will turn into violence. This, I think, what we saw in almost creative form on the death of Charlie Kerk and why had such an echo throughout the country.”
