Concerned Roman Catholics Condemn Knights of Columbusby Staff

MEDIA ADVISORY, (christiansunite.com) -- Concerned Roman Catholics of America, Inc. (CRCOA) today criticized Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson for his hypocritical attitude toward unborn babies during the Supreme Convention in Quebec, Aug. 5-7. As the Knights and bishops feasted for three days, 10,000 innocent children died by abortion in the USA alone.
Ken Fisher, president and founder of CRCOA, asked, "Why is it that Anderson has not expelled the many pro-abortion and pro-homosexual politicians and members in the K of C, and why do councils continue to rent their halls to them? Actions speak louder than words. The danger to unborn children demands action, not empty rhetoric."
Fisher noted that Anderson said in his keynote speech, "It's time we stop accommodating pro- abortion politicians, and it's time we start demanding that they accommodate us."
Fisher said: "Anderson was half right! While the weakest go to the wall, with 50 million babies aborted since Roe v Wade in 1973, the K of C have not really completely evolved into an action group to eliminate abortion. Anderson refuses to recognize that he and the Order are a massive part of the abortion problem, and that K of C politicians defeated an effort by a record 170,000 signatories to put traditional marriage on the ballot in Massachusetts in 2008. Not only that, but out-of-state homosexuals can now marry in Massachusetts and return to their home states to seek legal recognition, because K of C politicians just recently helped repeal a Massachusetts protect- marriage law."
Fisher continued, "Anderson has led the K of C for nearly eight years. He has happily followed in the footsteps of former Supreme Knight Virgil Dechant, who told me in August 2005 that pro-abortion politicians will 'never' be expelled! Anderson, Dechant and Supreme Advocate Paul Devin, who ruled 'unconstitutional' a Massachusetts State Convention resolution by Grand Knight Joe Craven to suspend pro-abortion and pro-homosexual politicians, must go. To be taken seriously, Supreme Chaplain Bishop William Lori and the other bishops must excommunicate the pro-abortion and pro- homosexual politicians and members."
"CRCOA looks forward to the day when we can report that the K of C at supreme, state and local level enforce the resolutions they have repeatedly passed at their conventions," concluded Fisher.
