“In my own conversations with Charlie, he was firm on justification by grace and did not believe he could biblically reconcile certain Catholic doctrines, including Mariology and the invocation of the Saints,” Miles explained. “In the few instances he was present at mass, he found it peaceful and beautiful. Charlie enjoyed sitting inside the empty sanctuary to worship in peace without being asked for selfies etc. That is a long way from entering OCIA.”
There is no “documentation” that Kirk was active in a “conversion process,” Miles claims.

“Charlie loved all true Christians, whether Catholic, Orthodox, or Evangelical,” he added. “Again, that is a long way from entering OCIA.”
“An occasional ‘fist bump’ does not equate to intimate friendship nor give @USAYep the authority to speak on behalf of the dead,” Miles said. “I would caution him to take care not to overstate what the facts simply do not support.”
He concluded, “This is not about scoring theological points. It is about honoring Charlie’s actual life and faith with accuracy and refusing to let speculation rewrite his story.”
Miles’ rebuke comes on the heels of the release of influencer Candace Owens’ controversial podcast series, “Bride of Charlie.” Owens, who once claimed to be friends with both Charlie and Erika Kirk and has promoted multiple conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie’s assassination, is now scrutinizing Ericka Kirk’s personal history and leadership.
