As Catholics, we affirm with unwavering conviction that every human life is sacred. To meet words with bullets is the way of tyranny, not of liberty. Truth must be engaged with reason, persuasion, and debate; not silenced with bloodshed.
I call upon every leader, regardless of party or persuasion, to condemn this murder unequivocally. To remain silent in the face of such evil is to be complicit in its advance. Let this tragedy awaken America to the urgent need to recover respect for life, civility in discourse, and courage in the pursuit of truth.
We pray for the repose of Charlie's soul, for the strength of his wife and children, and for the healing of a nation now scarred by his loss. May God receive him into eternal light, and may the sacrifice of his life inspire us all to stand more firmly for what is right, without fear.
Go forward bravely,
