The Way: Knights of Columbus expands to Ukraine and Lithuania; His Beatitude Sviatoslav via Video Addresses K.C. Convention
The Knights of Columbus are probably more respectful of Eastern liturgical rites and theology certain Roman ecclesial movements [whether it is because they are ultramontane or due to the eccentricities of their founder(s)]. Will they retain the American costumes or will they create new nayive versions? I know very little about them, but I do have an adverse reaction to their costumes and fake swords. They do a lot of good charitable work in the American churches, and the group is a good opportunity for Catholic men to meet and socialize, but it's not a replacement for the fraternization and leadership that should be taking place in a parish. If parishes were sized according to a proper scale and men were fulfilling their duties to the parish and to one another, would there be a need for the KoC except perhaps in a limited auxiliary role? And instead of being a fake knight, shouldn't men be willing to defend of their families and others? Or have we officially endorsed pacificism in an absolute manner?
