The separation of the Knights from the hierarchy was clearly implied by the following remarks from the late great Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen to the Knights themselves:

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

“Who is going to save our Church?
Not our bishops, not our priests and
religious. It is up to you, the people.
You have the minds, the eyes, and the
ears to save the Church. Your mission
is to see that your priests act like priests,
your bishops act like bishops, and your
religious act like religious.”

--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, address to the Supreme
Convention of the Knights of Columbus in June 1972

A penny for your thoughts.

When I first read about this story that quote from Archbishop Sheen was the first thing I thought of. I had no idea it was actually spoken to the KoC in the first place, learn something new on FR every day!

A Catholic group should follow Church teaching. If the bishop chooses not to, then the hell with him. Somebody should act like abortion is what the bishops say it is, even if the bishops don’t. Maybe then regular Catholics might really get the impression abortion is truly a big deal despite how the bishops act.
