Fr. Andre Mahanna on how Charlie and Erika Kirk can teach Catholics and Protestants on coming together.
Fr. Andre Mahanna Shared the following with us regarding the church and the union of Protestants and Catholics. Charlie Kirk and his wife Erika Kirk taught us about how we can all come together:
My friends, brothers and sisters in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in a situation like the one brought forth here by @KeithNester1 , it seems that both Protestantism and Catholicism have a major lesson to learn from
@charliekirk11 and his wife the wonderful @MrsErikaKirk namely from their spiritual and Christian conduct. Coming from Catholic and Evangelical background and traditions, and united in the holy matrimony as husband and wife, it seems that they both lived what Saint Paul told us to do: “They tried to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace and to live a life worthy of their vocation”. In Ephesians 4: 1- 13, St. Paul tells us how our gifts can be used to unite us as a Church: GO BACK TO THE SOURCE, maintain the spiritual wealth and the treasure of faith and true knowledge we have acquired from both traditions: Catholicism and Protestantism, We can be again One Faith, One Baptism One Lord.
No one knew to what extent, @MrsErikaKirk and @charliekirk11 were prisoners in the Lord for our sake, until he had to be baptized by the baptism of the blood as martyr, while her heart got pierced with the sword like the Virgin Mary so that the thoughts of many will be revealed and to give the extreme testimony of forgiveness like Jesus on the Cross. In such a way, they definitely found a way to be members of the One, Holy, Catholic Apostolic and true (Orthodox) Church of Jesus Christ our Lord.
I believe by embracing the power of the Cross, by realizing that we are prisoners for his sake and for the sake of the Gospel, and by trying to live faithful to our vocation in Christ, there is a way for us to be united in the One Body of Christ. This mystical unity amongst Christians effectively goes beyond the institutional divisions of the churches it restores the Body of Christ.
I believe our task should be to achieve the ultimate unity as Christians in America: we must do all what we can like
@MrsErikaKirk and @charliekirk11 to preserve the Unity of the Spirit by the Peace that binds us together. We must realize that the spiritual heritage, the deposit of the true faith, and the treasure of true knowledge are no one’s personal possession. These are the omnipotent, common heritage of all the good Christians regardless of church affiliation, and the temporal Legacy of any particular church. It is very unfortunate yet a source of divine power and glory that God chose @MrsErikaKirk and @charliekirk11 to serve His Glory, to bring us all together before the power of the Cross and to follow Christ on the way of the Cross. Once united to Christ suffering, passion and resurrection, Christ makes us perfect men and women, for He is the perfect Redeemer and the God of our salvation.
If we were to learn from @charliekirk11 and his wife @MrsErikaKirk I would say we apply the content of the epistle of Saint Paul to the Ephesians chapter 4: 1-7. 11-13: Here what it reads:
“Brothers and Sisters,
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
8This is why it a says:
“When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people.”
… So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Praised Be To God Always @FrAndreMahanna and @MissionofHM;

Here is the social media post Fr. Mahanna was referring to:
Protestantism is in a tough spot with Charlie Kirk. They say Roman Catholicism teaches a false gospel, but Charlie attended Mass. They say Catholics worship Mary, but Charlie said a lot of positive things about her that go beyond the typical “she’s just another sinner” arguments. Protestants don’t believe the saints in heaven can hear our prayers or see us, and that it’s idolatry to ask them for anything, yet over and over yesterday people appealed to Charlie as though he could. Protestants believe in faith alone for salvation but even Charlie’s pastor included a “work” (stand up and pray this prayer) to his call to salvation. We could go on and on.
Keith Nester was referring to the below post:
Catholics are in a tough spot with Charlie Kirk. He was an outspoken follower of Jesus Christ and shared the gospel often, but rejected Catholicism. Now Romans have a choice: condemn him to hell bc he wasn’t Catholic, or ADMIT that there is salvation outside the Catholic Church.
