The Knights are regrettably part of the pro-life fundraising scam (especially the inaptly named Susan B. Anthony Fund, which gave us the House Freedom Caucus and all the damage it has done) and the movement to keep gays on the margins in the Church, a battle that they will lose. Their compensation package is quite capitalist. I suspect their leader takes home more than the Holy Father. They are quite clear about anyone who is pro-choice not being welcome in their ranks. I won’t be following my late father into the Knights and because of the paranoia of Pope Pius IX and others about secret societies, I won’t be following my maternal grandfather into the Masons. No rituals and funny hats for me. From what I see, most knights are older than I am, and I am not young, so they may soon be the stuff of history. I am sure they were overjoyed at the election of Trump, but they have to be having buyer’s remorse if they are at all sane.
