text: Why extend compassion to those who don't understand the meaning of the word or can't tolerate the potential effect of the effort?  I ask myself that question all the time and having no real answer so I keep on keeping on.  The groups you mention, KofC-which is really Carl Anderson, President Trump, American conservatism, are not interested in compassion, they are interested in promoting a political world view that is not particularly Catholic.  Carl Anderson really angers me because he is promoting a libertarian self centered political world view under the guise of a previously recognized truly compassionate Catholic organization.  Why this situation continues is beyond my comprehension.  I do know more than one 4th degree Knight who has said enough is enough, and left the organization.  I don't think that's intolerance.  I think that's being true to one's Catholic faith.
