"These include prominent Black church leaders, as well as religious orders like the Catholic Sisters of Charity of New York, who also criticized Dolan directly: Kirk’s 'prejudicial words do not reflect the qualities of a saint,' they said in a statement. '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 should know all these things."
In writing this statement, Dominic Preziosi says that Dolan perhaps just didn't realize what he was saying when he said Kirk was a saint like St. Paul. He loves to run his mouth and be on stage, after all. But, alternatively:
"Dolan knew exactly what he was saying and was happy to convey it on behalf of the church’s most reactionary elements.
"Fox is the propaganda arm of the Trump administration, and Dolan’s eager presence in its studios suggests the degree to which powerful figures within and associated with the US Catholic Church shape—and are absorbed into—the ethno-nationalist program of the MAGA regime. In the aftermath of Kirk’s assassination, this unholy and wholly un-Christian alliance appears to be solidifying."
As Marty Kelley says, Pope Leo has Republican knickers atwist not just by saying that you can't call yourself pro-life if you oppose abortion but not the death penalty, and by defending immigrants. He's also making statements and symbolic actions to address climate change and support attempts to deal with climate change. And Republicans are furious.
