As a Knight of 52 years standing, I would rather have Supreme Knight Carl Anderson committing the prestige and some resources of the Knights of Columbus to barbequeing baby-killer political "Catholic" whores such as Tim Kaine, Rosa DeLauro, Chris Murphy, Nancy Pelosi, Little Dick Durbin, Dannell Malloy, Martin Looney, Brendan Sharkey, Susan Collins, Patrick Leahy, Mayor DeBlahBlahsio; Kirsten Gillibrand, and the legion of other total hypocrites in our public life than lose sleep over Anderson's personal fault of failing to vote in (Hamden?) the vicinity of New Haven.

Anderson should vote as should we all. Since 1964, I have failed to vote only once (in a 2000 primary) when I had left Connecticut and arrived in Illinois too late to register. You are certainly correct that Anderson should take the trouble to vote pro-life when he urges others to do so.

Anderson worked on staff for Jesse Helms and on staff at the White House for Ronaldus Maximus. That is also the public record.

There are several million Knights. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. The Knights are also (informally) a group that was still largely Democrat in my distant youth and is now several decades into a transformation to an (informally) Republican group. The reasons? Abortion, acceptance of and enthusiasm for sexual perversity by the modern demonrats, the failure of the demonrats to maintain a military second to none and a manly, muscular foreign policy to go with it.

Anderson's predecessor was Virgil Dechant who served nearly thirty years and had been a GOP State Central Committee member in Kansas. Those two and the legendary Luke Hart of Missouri (ca. 1950-1964) were the only Republicans to EVER be Supreme Knight. I knew Dechant and a finer man never lived. It was he who performed the very necessary demonratectomy in leadership driving out a leftist demonrat Supreme Knight Dr. John Griffin, a McGovernite former gummint skewel superintendent from Massachusetts.

BTW, I did not think Anderson had it in him. I won't criticize him for his virtues.

Black, if he is urging others to vote pro-life, then he would certainly approve of urging others to vote.

Perhaps it is an idea for the Knights to address and act on that problem. Less than 10% of those attending Sunday Mass in CT vote in our August primaries.

the fact that he himself is not informed on his local election dynamics could be responsible for his mis-diagnosis.

“Catholics need to stop voting for pro-abortion politicians”

Wrong. They have stopped. They have stopped voting. At least in many east coast states.

“Catholics need to start voting for pro-life politicians” would be the way to state it.
