Mills, a convert himself, is a perfect example of the kettle calling the pot black.
Ping.
My Knights Council has lots of converts, they are to a man great guys. I call bull on this article.
I am a convert and a 4th degree insurance carrying Knight. This is bunk.
How do you all like you new prep-school uniforms?
The Knights of Columbus have gone down hill in the past years. Why do the Knights heavily support Crux?
Converts to the Vatican II, modernist faith? Or converts to the Catholic Faith?
They look silly but maybe the younger guys will like them better.
There are good things that the Knights do, for example supporting Middle Eastern Christians with financial support as well as providing mobile ultrasound vans so that expectant mothers can see their babies inside which discourages abortion etc... My council does much charitable work inside our community and our priests rely on their help around the parish. I know some political crap can go on with the Knights outside and inside some councils. Progressive subversives get there slimy paws into every group they can, we have to never give up fighting them.
I need to look more into Crux. If they are bad I’ll give national my two cents.
Hate them.
The Knights of Columbus have gone down hill in the past years.
According to who? My council and assembly continue to grow every year.
Why do the Knights heavily support Crux?
Here is the official statement from last year explaining the merger.
Click on the linked Crux articles in the original post.
They don't. They funded a failing news outlet ... they don't write the articles for them.
Anderson might be but that doesn’t mean that the rank and file Knights cannot do good in spite of Church politics. I keep fighting inside the Catholic Church for “The Truth” until I get tossed out.
From the link you provided:
“The Knights will respect the editorial freedom of Crux, trusting it to present news and commentary in a way that serves the good of the Church.”
Sounds like Pilate washing his hands.
I repeat, Carl Anderson is bad news for you guys.
Then why do they do so? Especially when two different authors attack Catholic converts?
But it is Anderson who dishing out the money contributed by your "rank and file" members.
One can easily be a faithful Catholic, doing good works, without belonging to the Knights.
If you want to see an attack article, that’s what you’ll see. In the first one, I see basic fact ... yeah, Francis has a convert problem. The problem is him, not the converts. He’s saying things that are getting twisted around (or are just outright wrong) and he is confusing the recent converts. Is the author wrong about this? And then there’s this part ... “Of course, you dont need to be a convert to be critical of Francis, and plenty of converts are delighted with him (which is why Bullivant was wrong to think that Winters was getting at converts per se.) But this isnt about liking or disliking Pope Francis. Its about an attitude to the papacy on the part of some.” SOME. Not all. Keep in mind, converts are coming from churches that don’t follow a pope. This is new to them. They’re still learning.
And in the last link, I see good advice for new converts ... listen - a lot ... being new to the faith, they still have some unlearning to do. I know I did when I first converted 25 years ago.
You can take these as attacks, but I see something different.
Despite any issues the KofC are facing today, the organization still does a LOT of good throughout the world.
My Council is OK. My dues stay mostly in my Council.
Yes Anderson is mixed bag. Someday I might publicly quit but I am not there yet. I did quit one Leftist council sometime ago, lousy progressive bastards are everywhere.
