Summary
On an exciting Sunday interview edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie sits down with author of the new book 'Speechless,' Michael Knowles for an in-depth, expansive, and thoroughly exciting conversation on liberty, "Libertarians," and the necessity of authority and order before transitioning into a lively back and forth on Catholicism. Coming from an evangelical, protestant tradition, Charlie presses Michael on whether or not Jesus was the "first Catholic," the virginity of Mary, siblings of the Savior, the Pope, the printing press, intercession and veneration—and much, much more, believe it or not. All of that packed into one action-packed and extremely thoughtful episode with a longtime friend of the show, Michael Knowles.
