Three of the officers in the local lodge are also Knights of Columbus. Besides I wear a Knights of Columbus apron when we make our Pancake Breakfasts. Bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, hash browns, corned beef hash, toast, juice, coffee. $5. Children under twelve free. Go ahead. Try getting that at Bickford’s.
Cooking aprons are OK.
Neo-pagan masonic gear is not.
Mmmmmm....bacon.
Is the bishop aware of this? Do the Knights know? One of the reasons for the founding of the K of C, of course, was to give Catholic men a fraternal organization that would not conflict with Catholic principles.
“Knights of Columbus pancake breakfasts”
What, no grits?
Anyway, reading this thread and recalling the centuries long prohibition against Freemasonry for Catholics like me, I tend to believe that it is based upon the inherent Pelagianism in the group. Salvation through self-improvement with Jesus as an example rather than as our Lord, directly contradicts the Christian message of salvation through divine grace.
In fact, salvation through self-improvement by achieving higher and higher degrees of perfection sounds a great deal like the teachings of Mormonism, a sect in which aprons and other sacred garments are also ceremonially presented.
