In all honesty, this has been a very frustrating issue for the more orthodox members of the organization like me. I think I probably know the guy who submitted the resolution, I am behind it 100%, but I am wise enough to know it is a long fight.
Realistically the K of C has the same problems as the U.S. Church, the liberalism of the 1970s has infiltrated and like the U.S. Church it will take some time to weed it out (or age it out if you will).
Unfortunately stuff like this creates a “Catch-22” traditional Catholics will be reluctant to join the organization, BUT, you need the traditional Catholics to join in large number to change the organization.
In all reality if traditional Catholics took this type of crap as a rallying call and join the organization in large numbers the changes at the top would happen much more quickly.
Just to give you the background, third generation Knight, one of the younger guys, served in Council and State roles and I am probably more frustrated about this stuff than anyone. I will probably be old and gray by the time this battle is won, but that doesn’t mean I am going to quit.
I don't think that things will change within the Order until things change within the hierarchy. I just don't see the Order ever getting ahead of the hierarchy on this issue. It's a fundamental attribute of the Order, for better or for worse.
In fact, I'd be drop-dead stunned if Supreme’s current stance wasn't developed after extensive consultations with those members of the episcopacy closest to the Order. And no way is Supreme going to depart from the line that the bishops strongly (even if privately) urge.
