Catholics, Knights and Pro-Lifers to Picket Knights of Columbus Convention Opening Mass

WASHINGTON -- On Tuesday, August 3, at 8:45 AM representatives of Concerned Roman Catholics of America and other pro-life advocates will picket the opening Mass of the 2010 Knights of Columbus annual convention to expose the treachery of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus.
 
The Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus is harboring member knight politicians who vote pro-abortion and pro-sodomy. This failure to expel these knights and their refusal to allow state councils to do so is against the dictates of their own bylaws and the will of their own members. The Council is causing discord and dissension among their own members and creating a public scandal. According to their own bylaws, the entire Supreme Council should be suspended or expelled. In light of this, we are calling for the resignation of Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson, Supreme Director Virgil Dechant, Supreme Treasurer Emilio B. Moure, and Supreme Advocate John Marrella.
 
What: Press Conference and protest of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus
 
Where: Main entrance of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
 
When: Tuesday, August 3, 8:45 AM
 
Why: To expose the treachery of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus
 
"The Supreme Council is insisting that nobody in the 1.4 million-strong order can do anything at all about the pro-abortion politicians right in their midst," says Ken Fisher. "That is preposterous. You can bet that the Knights would rightly kick out racists and criminals."
 
"In fact," continues Fisher, "the Knights do expel members -- pro-life faithful Catholic members, such as my friends John O'Gorman, Bob Kumpel and Danny Levine, who brought attention to these scandals.
 
Fisher urges all D.C.-area Catholics, and all Knights, to speak up and tell the Supreme officers to stop hiding behind the bishops, to admit that excommunication is not a requirement for expelling a member, and to create an Order-wide policy that pro-abortion politicians are no longer welcome, and that the Supreme Council will boot out all such members brought to its attention.

  1. I guess money talks here as well! As a 4th Degree member of the K of C in good standing, I agree with those who wish to expel pro-abort politicians. I think it is time all Catholics take a stand against any Catholic organization that refuses to be fully Catholic.
