“the Catholic church is probably the largest and most effective charitable organization on the planet.”
I happened to catch last week on TV the convention of the Knights of Columbus with a speech by their head, reviewing their past years accomplishments. WOW. Very impressive. He just went on and on for two hours, describing one program after another. And it was tied in with a patriotic theme. I would presume they are a more conservative group among the Catholics?
I would say the Knights of Columbus are just as conservative as 90 percent of their congregations. We hear about the 10 percent that are liberal CINOS, but rarely hear about the REAL Catholics like the K of C.
