Hi Kevin,
I asked you a simple question. You did not have an answer.
Neither could you give me three to five (or even one) example of KC doing the
bidding of the Vatican contrary to the interest of Catholic Americans or
America. Do you think American Catholics are unable on their own to evaluate
and articulate morality?
The efforts of KC to financially and socially help poor Catholics are very
commendable. It is very likely you (and other ungrateful and perennial
Church-bashers on Goanet) were the beneficiary of the kindness and sacrifices
of the KC and the Catholic Church during your upbringing and in time of crises.
Your string of anti-Catholic posts, as an ex-Catholic and an atheist, are an
insensitive, offensive claptrap. You are utilizing your language skills and
your self-acclaimed morality to display a showy, insincere empty talk. Your
contemptible, crude and deceptive attacks, on the religion you divorced
yourself from, are intended only to get an applause or notice. Don't you have
any shame? Most atheists I know have much higher morals and decency standards.
Regards, GL

Can the author tell us where the "poor Irish immigrants from the church" were
defecting to?

as a prior member of this 'men's club' who has been sworn to secrecy, I thought
I'd pass on some history which may not be available through Google.
a secret society that was created to stem the defection of poor Irish
immigrants from the Church. Fr. Michael McGiveney used the model of the most
successful secret society, Freemasonry, to create a Catholic men's organization
that would look after the financial interests of the poor Catholic families in
the Boston area.
The fraternal brotherhood of the Knights of Columbus has also morphed into a
formidable political force, using their influence through the dwindling
Catholic congregations to promote the political agenda of the Vatican without
incurring the penalties which would arise from overt interference by the Church
into matters of the State.
