I don’t care for either the masons or the KofC. What ticks me off is when a typical catholic goes on a rant about masons, but thinks it’s just fine for the KofC to exist.

Gimme a break.

There have been Masonic leaders who were a bit anti Catholic.

It is easy to understand why Catholics might take it personally.

For me? I simply do not easily associate the ignorance of one person, in a group, to the entire group.

I see Masons who say or believe stupid things as individuals.

As a “secret society” however, it is easy to understand why some would think that the odd, or even bigoted beliefs, of ONE Mason, or Knight, might be the teachings of the “group” -—

And yes, brother Knights, I am aware that the Knights of Columbus says they are “not a ‘secret society’” I simply think that particular distinction is nonsense.

I think we are, every bit as much as the Masons, a “secret society” -— and I refuse to buy the distinctions some make.
