I respect an honest discussion.
Unfortunately this “difference of opinion” is never likely to be overcome. It is based in a now foggy past that neither side any longer remembers accurately (none alive partook in the conflict and atrocities). But they none the less did take place. Although many deny them now.
Treachery has a way of cementing these things.
I have spent 40 years on the other side of the trench. And have spent a fair amount of time studying what is written about the events. Have many good Knights of Columbus friends who I have great respect for. And I have had open frank discussion of this with some of them, and we parted still as good friends. The top official in our state is a member of my lodge, and I am the secretary for that lodge. (member since my Junior year in College- 1969)
My Great Grandfather missed being a charter member by 2 weeks. We had our 100th anniversary a little over a year ago. My father and I are both actively involved.

I guess i’m not quite sure what your position is on the matter, other than it sounds like you defend the craft against christian views which oppose it.
As for events/KoC, i’m not familiar with them.
I tend to focus on what literature is promoted as the defining documents/teachings of an organization.
The further we get away from the source, the muddier the water gets.
