🚨MUST LISTEN: A recording questioning Erika Kirk's Catholic Pastor Fr. Don Kline has been released covering a wide range of topics including denying that Charlie Kirk was converting to Catholicism, his Catholic Funeral service, Erika's children attending mass, allegations of fundraising during the grieving process and disproved allegations of sexual impropriety.  You need to listen to this! See a summary below: St. Bernadette Pastor Don Kline denies any knowledge that Charlie Kirk was converting to Catholicism saying "that's news to me" and "he never said anything to me about becoming Catholic", confirms Charlie Kirk and Erika attended St. Bernadette saying "He would attend mass here once in awhile." When asked about if he had a Catholic Funeral service Kline replies "I will try and respect his privacy, why is this important to you?" When asked if he was Erika Kirk's Catholic advisor priest he replied "I have thousand of people I advise." Kline says he has "never been to a Turning Point event". He went on to say Charlie "was a tragic loss and was a bright light for the world. He had some challenges and challenged a lot of things." Kline denies that he connected Erika to wealthy donors during her grieving process saying "I'm always the last to know." and "No there is no truth to that." He further denied allegations of sexual misconduct saying "there is no truth to that and I would be removed if there was any truth to that." When questioned on the children attending mass, Kline responded "No one would love to have the kids attend mass more than me and Erika, but there are people who keep snapping shots and are wanting to interview and won't leave them alone." He claims it is well documented and "out there on the world wide web that people were taking photos of Erika Kirk's kids at mass", however, in an exhaustive search, not one single such photo at St. Bernadette surfaced. Kline may have been referencing photos from January 2025 (before Charlie was assassinated) at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. which ERIKA KIRK HERSELF SHARED on her Public Instagram. He says "It's unfortunate you just can't go to mass. She's on a global stage." Kline then fronted the claim that Erika Kirk and the kids "had threats on their life" but edged it with "I'm sure" indicating that he actually had no such first hand knowledge of any such threats. When further questioned on the death threats he said "I have no idea." He then claimed that he himself does get death threats. Charlie Kirk loved that he was "preaching the Gospel and love. That is what he liked about coming to the Church. I am very pro-life and he liked that too." Kline ended saying "I hear all kinds of stuff. I know that some of them are flat out lies meant to defame me or this parish. If I try to refute that they say I am defensive. If I don't refute it they say I am hiding something. So I can't really win." and "The truth will come out and I look forward to that day." After listening to this audio and confirming that there is no strong evidence of sexual impropriety; I am convinced those allegations against Father Don Kline are false. However, several questions remain on the allegations as to if Father Kline was being completely honest in answering other questions and text and email evidence I have seen seems to indicate that Kline did inappropriately abuse his position connecting potential wealthy mega donors to Erika during the grieving process; which while not illegal; would certainly be unethical.
