The Knight of Columbus has some structure in common with the Masons, but the the foundations of the two are different. Father McGivney addressed the shortommings of the Masons and other fraternal organizations of the time and created the thoroughly Catholic organization of which I am a proud member.
Using your analogy one might think that a Trabant and a Lexus were the same because the have the same basic structural parts (frame, wheels, engine, etc.)
Take a hike buddy. If you think I’m going to buy your crap about masons being trabants and knights being lexuses, you are a moron.
