THE ROLE TO BE OF THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS U.S.A.
JUSTICE IS TRUTH IN ACTION - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - SAT. JUNE 13TH,2020
Dear Supreme Knight Carl Anderson,
From Wikipedia: Early History:Founding:
Michael J. McGivney, an Irish-American Catholic priest, founded the Knights of Columbus in New Haven, Connecticut. He gathered a group of men from St. Mary's Parish for an organizational meeting on October 2, 1881. It was incorporated on March 29, 1882. McGivney had originally conceived of the name "Sons of Columbus". James T. Mullen, who later led the organization coined the name "Knights of Columbus". which expressed the ritualistic nature of the new organization and drew from positive historical associations...
Because of religious and ethnic discrimination, Roman Catholics in the late 19th century were regularly excluded from labor unions, popular fraternal organizations, and other organized groups that provided such social services. Papal encyclical issued by the Holy See also prohibited Catholics from participating as lodge members with Freemasonry...
CATHOLIC AND AMERICAN:
Taking the name of Columbus was partially intended as a mild rebuke to Anglo-Saxon Protestant leaders, who upheld the explorer (a Genovese Italian Catholic who had worked for Catholic Spain) as an American hero, yet simultaneously sought to marginalize recent Catholic immigrants. In taking Columbus as their patron, the founders expressed their belief that not only could Catholics be full members of American society, they were instrumental in its foundation.
Of the first 28 members of the first council, 16 were born in Ireland. A majority of the first generation of Knights across the order were immigrants. Joining the Knights gave the recent immigrants a mantle of "middle-class Americans respectability without forfeiting their preexisting ethnic and religious identities", and gave them "a rhetorical foundation for claims to full American citizenship"... The Knights are today organized in about 17 countries.
POPE APPROVES MIRACLE ATTRIBUTED TO KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS' FOUNDER
National Catholic Register, June 7-20, 2020
"On May 27, the Vatican announced that a miracle attributed to the intercession of Father McGivney had been approved by Pope Francis, a step which brings the beloved U.S. born priest one step closer to the beatification.... According to Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, the Knights of Columbus founder was a model of sanctity for the laity - especially the men. "Father McGivney has inspired generations of Catholic men to roll up their sleeves and put their faith into action," he said. "He was decades ahead of his time in giving the laity an important role within the Church."....
"Following his beatification, Father McGivney's cause will require one more authenticated miracle before he can be considered for canonization. He would not be the first member of the Knights of Columbus to be canonized. A group of six Mexican members of the organization were martyred during the Cristero War of 1926-29 and its aftermath: Sts. Louis Batis, Rodrigo Aguilar, Miguel de la Mora, Pedro de Jesus Maldonado, Jose Maria Robles, and Mateo Correa. ...
COMMENTARY:
In America we are in a kind of cold war. Firstly, today within the last two weeks, the Barbarians on June 10th, tore down statues of Columbus in Virginia and Boston. They were built by Italian American immigrants. Anarchists are not at our gates, they are within our cities. (Chaz in Seattle) They hate America, the police, and our free enterprise system. They call it Capitalism. Our economic system was created by the genius of our Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Many sympathize with the Barbarians. They hate all of our Founding Fathers. They use the rights of our Constitution to divide and destroy us.
Secondly, the Barbarians hate religious Christian believers. Baptist and Evangelicals are informed. Catholics need help. For example, CNN is a mouthpiece of the culture of death. It's the truth. In the name of Venerable Father McGivney & Saint John Paul, we cannot stand by as an organization quietly and allow the hate propaganda and the Barbarians win their Culture of Death Election on Nov. 3rd.
