Our Sacred Honor # 1 (Appendix to Remember in 2008)

OUR SACRED HONOR # 1
June 27, 2005
This is the first in a series of E-mail letters to you our Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson of the Knights of Columbus. (Columbia@kofc.org) Copies will be sent to fellow Knights, friends and associates. The letters focus on matters related to pro-abortion Catholic politicians. Today, these politicians are leaders for a secular America promoting same sex -marriage, assisted suicide, and embryonic stem cell research. Is this a new religion of Catholic relativism and accommodation with the culture of death part of the Catholic Church in the Americas?
As a brother Knight, I prayed for another St. Thomas More. But the faith and the backbone in these politicians were not there. This is a most serious crisis of faith and a scandal. I believe Knights of Columbus has an important role to play.

May I share with you exhibit A:
The Conference of Catholic Bishops recommended that the following postcard be mailed to our Senators in Congress. “All human beings deserve respect and protection from harm, especially those who are most defenseless. Yet the U.S. Supreme Court, in the Roe vs. Wade, violated these principles when it created a new “right” to abortion throughout pregnancy. Because of Roe, the Court has ruled that even children who are partially born can be killed. As your constituent, I urge you not to require support for Roe v. Wade as a condition for determining a nominee’s fitness for judicial office.”

On the Senate Judicial Committee we have pro-abortion Catholic politicians, like Senators Kennedy, Leahy, Dodd and Durbin etc. subverting the intent of the above postcard. At least one Senator is a member of the Knights of Columbus.

May I share with you exhibit B:
Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin is forcing members of the Canadian parliament to daily sit in the House until as late as midnight in order to ram through same-sex ‘marriage’ Bill C-38. He is quoted, “I am actually a very strong Roman Catholic,” “But I am also a legislator, and I believe that clearly what I’ve got to do is to take the widest perspective possible. And that perspective leads to me to believe that the Charter of Rights is a fundamental pillar of our democracy.”

Calgary Bishop Fred Henry wrote a pastoral letter in which he informed his flock that the media’s portrayal of the Prime Minister (Paul Martin) as a ‘devout Catholic’ was inaccurate given his public support for abortion and homosexual ‘marriage’. He would deny the Prime Minister communion and would consider excommunicating him. “He’s putting at risk his eternal salvation. … He is making a morally grave error and he (Paul Martin) is not being accountable to God.”

In conclusion, what would our Founder Father Michael J. McGivney do? Didn’t our bishops read and study Pope John Paul’s encyclicals, The Gospel of Life and The Splendor of Truth? Will they listen to Pope Benedict XVI?

Fraternally yours,
George H. Kubeck, Knights of Columbus, Cypress Council #8599 and Mission San Juan Capistrano Assembly 0062, June 27th, 2005 (Appropriate for today.)
P.S. The 125th Supreme Convention will be in Nashville, Tennessee Aug. 7-9, 2007
