Local Knights might decide to give a few thousands to worthy charities by group decisions, but the national board gives millions to political causes with no input, transparency or accountability to its membership. EG, they mention that they gave political contributions to defeat same sex marriage proposition in CA, but never stated the amounts...
Another example is when the US Religious Sisters  & the LCWR (80% of US Sisters) were undergoing 2 Vatican Curia "investigations" for 3 long years, the national Knights never defended the Sisters, except to impute that the Religious had to have done something very wrong, else why would they be investigated? The Curia came up with NOTHING!!!
The Knights have supported the newer Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (20%) exclusively... eg, their monthly photos of women religious are only of those in full religious garb, never in civilian clothes with crosses to indicate religious affiliations, a la Sr Joan Chichester.
