text: Yay!- reason for hope!  I find it interesting that, according to Jane Mayer's Dark Money, the extremely wealthy and powerful Dutch Reform family the De Vos of the Amway fortune, are one of the major funders of the "Christian Coalition" and the Conservative in name only movement of the Council for National Policy.  Their issues seem very similar to some of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus are part through their support for the March for Life ... which basically defined "pro-life" as anti-choice legislation.  
  
  Perhaps our clerical leadership is starting to understand our official "pro-life" position to be much broader than that ... and is essentially about life with dignity for the full continuum for all God's Children ... including gays, transgender, 
  
  I hope and pray we keep evolving and people like Fr. Martin don't loose hope or stop their important work.
