Cardinal Condemns ‘Satanic’ Celebrations Over Charlie Kirk’s Murder

Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former head of the Vatican’s doctrinal office, has denounced the public celebrations that followed the assassination of U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk, calling them “satanic” and rooted in “atheistic ideology.”

“Charlie Kirk was the victim of an atheistic ideology, whose followers erupted in satanic celebration over the heinous murder of an exemplary husband and family man,” Müller said in an interview with Vatican journalist Diane Montagna. The German cardinal said the devil “always takes possession of those who hate life and truth.”
