Council Passes Resolution
On May 11, the Council unanimously passed a resolution expressing their loyalty and support of Pope Benedict XVI and denouncing the recent media attacks directed toward the Holy Father.
The following is the full resolution:
WHEREAS, The Knights of Columbus, founded in 1882 by a Catholic Priest, has always expressed our loyalty and support for the priesthood, and
WHEREAS, Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has provided outstanding leadership throughout the world community of Faith, has given his life to the defense of Life, has led our Church through a difficult transition, and is now suffering because of a few unfaithful priests who betrayed the Gospel, and
WHEREAS, despicable and malicious attacks on Pope Benedict XVI have recently appeared, and are appearing almost daily, in certain media outlets. These attacks are overtly malicious, and consist primarily of speculation, innuendo, and suggestion aimed at our Holy Father for his ardent defense of life and the family, based on marriage between a man and a woman. Under the pretext of promoting a voice for the victims of clergy abuse, which all men and women condemn, these media articles are intent on destroying the Pope’s reputation, the integrity of all good priests, and the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church, which has loudly and consistently preached the Gospel of Life. These media articles are overtly one-sided, do not report relevant facts, and are aimed at spreading the seeds of doubt, confusion, and fear in the hearts and minds of all faithful Christians.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Good Shepherd Knights of Columbus Council 10685 condemn these despicable and malicious attacks on Pope Benedict XVI, and express our unfailing loyalty and support of our Holy Father.
