K of C Face Backlash

A Catholic Sister Protests Trump's Political Stunt at the K of C

Fr. Peter Daly, a priest of the Archdiocese of Washington, has joined the chorus of others resigning or distancing themselves from the Knights of Columbus.  Please read the whole article, as Father Daly has a lot to say.  But here is the kicker part:

In my opinion, the Knights of Columbus is no longer the small mutual aid society and fraternity founded by Fr. Michael McGivney in the 19th century. It is now a big, rich corporation that seeks to be a political player in the American scene. Its nearly 2 million members, the vast majority of whom never go to a meeting, give it clout. It is principally an insurance company, which underwrites $105 billion in policies, has $22 billion in assets. Money and membership that give it power.

The Supreme Council are extremely well paid. [Supreme Knight Carl] Anderson was paid more than $2 million in 2014. His annual base salary is around $900,000.  [Anderson is a right political operative who once worked for a segregationist senator].
