Charlie Kirk has been praised as a “modern day St Paul” by Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York.

Appearing on Fox & Friends on Friday (19 September), the archbishop said whilst the 31-year-old, who was killed in Utah last week, was “pretty blunt and direct”, he always spoke to opponents “with respect”.

Speaking highly of the christian political activist, the cardinal said: “He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knew what Jesus meant when he said the truth will set you free.”
