As for me, I think it's about time the Knights change their by-laws for those knights who choose to enter public life!

As I saw on a car recently, you cannot be Catholic and Pro-Abortion at the same time.......I suppose that goes for gay-marriage, too......

The K of C is shocked that there are many “Kennedy Catholics” in Massachusettes?

“Cafeteria Catholics” comes to mind. They pick and choose which things they want to embrace

The Knights should tear off their epaulets and break their swords.

It is up to the diocese or the Church hierarchy to decide whether these lawmakers are no longer Catholic, Korten told LifeSiteNews.com. "We as laymen do not presume to decide whether other laymen are Catholics or not," he said. But you can decide whether or not to kick someone out of the Knights. What's stopping you?

So what the Knights are saying is if one of their members supports NAMBLA they as a group could do nothing about it. Kick them out, show some spine.

I don’t care if they were Knights of Columbus or Knights of the Round Table,the fact is they effectively took away our right to decide with a vote the fundamental definition of marriage and that totally pissed me off !!!

There is never any question that evil is in the world.
The only question is how do good men respond do it.
Ok Knights, the ball is in your court. What are you going to do?

The KoC has a real opportunity here.
They can stand up and censure/eject those “members” who obviously don’t share their values, or they can suck it up and continue to reap PR advantage by having “nominal” members who are legislators.

None of these politicians has been forced to run for elected office. No one is forced to belong to the Catholic Church. Both are free choices.
Belonging to the Catholic Church is a choice that involves personal commitments and beliefs. The doctrines of the Church are not optional.
Catholic politicians need to be able to reconcile their religion with their political positions. To do otherwise is blasphemy. If they are unable to reconcile their beliefs, the honest and decent thing to do would be to either leave politics or leave the Church.

The K of C should know by now that a politician is a person without convictions — especially religious. Opportunism is the name of the game.

I knew something was very different about Massachuetts since 1972 when it was the only state won by McGovern in the 1972 Presidential election.

You beat me to it. For many demo/sociaists their party is their religion and their religion is only a social club.

Not a troll/flame, but I wonder how many self professed Catholics, or in a larger sense, Christians, actually follow church doctrine to the letter, and can be seen as 'true' Catholics/Christians? I'd be willing to bet that the majority have at least one issue that puts them at odds with their church, thereby making them fallen in their churches' eyes. Be it drinking, sexual matters, birth control, an abortion, gay rights beliefs, etc.
