Its just a Men’s Catholic community organization like the Kiwani’s or Lions.
Basically a Catholic Paternal organization who’s purpose is to do good works in their community
I think the K of C may be more like a Catholic
version of the Masons than the Kiwanis or Lions because
there is a religious aspect to the organization. I
think I might have heard that the Masons do not
preclude Catholics from membership but that precepts
of the Catholic Church do not mesh with the masons.
