Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus, founded on March 29, 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, is a Roman Catholic fraternal service organization and is the most well-known and largest out of all Catholic organizations everywhere. Their headquarters is located in New Haven, Connecticut. Their motto is "In service to one. In service to all" which is what they really use to appear that good but yet are pro-conservative and they contradict their own motto.&nbsp

While they're do-gooders for the most part such as being involved with the Special Olympics, doing Tootsie Roll drives for the mentally disabled people, they have been known to be divisive especially in areas where divisions run rampant. They're supposed to not even be a partisan or political organization, much less ones to endorse any candidates for office, they committed a double standard by letting George W. Bush speak at their annual convention, George H.W. Bush had comes to their convention during the 1992 U.S. Presidential Election. Yet, they didn't even think to invite John Kerry because of his support for abortion rights even though Kerry is a good Catholic and better Christian than the Bushes. The Knights adopted a strongly anti-abortion position, are also active in trying to ban the right to same-sex marriage, and are ok with violating the separation of church and state, such as promoting the "Keep Christ in Christmas" slogans. They were also responsible for having the "under God" added to the Pledge of Allegiance.

When they got involved with the Proposition 8 ballot in California, they made the "Dishonor Roll". Funny that John Dingell is a member of the Knights of Columbus and so was Sargent Shriver and Ted Kennedy.
