Knights of Columbus
Knights of Columbus
A call to action
Dear Brother Knight,
The Knights of Columbus is committed to assisting our Christian brothers and sisters who are suffering in the Middle East. At this year’s Supreme Convention, I announced a “Season of Truth” dedicated to raising awareness of their plight, and the plight of other religious minorities in the region.
The violence in the Middle East has led to many deaths and the greatest refugee crisis since WWII. Over four million people have been displaced. Among the most affected are Iraqi and Syrian Christians, who are the victims of ongoing systematic cleansing and persecution. While the Christian population in Iraq once numbered above a million, violence has reduced that number by more than 65%. This human catastrophe has drawn commentary from Pope Francis, who said this of the persecution:
As Knights of Columbus we cannot be part of what Pope Francis has called the “complicit silence” of many who hear of these atrocities and do nothing. We must act.
To date, we have donated more than $4 million to relief efforts in Iraq and Syria through the Knights of Columbus Christian Refugee Relief Fund. We have also launched a website and released a commercial to raise awareness of the crisis. However, more assistance is needed, as the response from the international community has been woefully inadequate.
Please go to christiansatrisk.org to learn more about this humanitarian emergency and to make a donation that will provide material assistance to these refugees. Please also consider sharing this message with your family and friends.
As Knights of Columbus, we are called to stand in solidarity with all those Christians around the world who are suffering from violent persecution, offering spiritual and material assistance to these victims of crimes against humanity. Please pray daily for our Christian brothers and sisters—for their perseverance in faith and hope, the improvement of their living conditions, and the restoration of peace in their land.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and support.
Vivat Jesus!

Today we are dismayed to see how in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world many of our brothers and sisters are persecuted, tortured and killed for their faith in Jesus. In this third world war, waged piecemeal, … a form of genocide is taking place.

How to get to the pope? What do you think of the green and very expensive carbon tax myth now? Are you worried about global warming ? Is global warming a special interest gambit? Is this a new inquisition? Are we going retro ?

The Pontifical Academy of Sciences is a Vatican agency that has origins in Galileo’s time. It’s made up of 80 of the world’s top scientists, who keep the Bishop of Rome and the Vatican up to speed on new scientific research. On April 28, the academy hosted a conference on climate change and poverty. The religious leaders are seated to the right. The scientists face them, across the room. At the central podium, beneath the bust of Pope John Paul II, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivers his address. They met in the great hall of the Vatican’s Casina Pio IV. The inscription on either side of the bust extols Pope John Paul II’s 1992 apology to Galileo.

The dangers of driver’s licence suspensions - The Globe and Mail
The dangers of driver’s licence suspensions - The Globe and Mail
This is akin to the arbitrary asset forfeiture laws . Legal stealing whose only purpose is to enrich the state under draconian and dubious punitive thinking. It is unjust, unconstitutional because mobility is a right not a privilege. It must be changed back to road safety only fines as before the intent was perverted or continue to bring the system of "justice " and law into disrepute.
Truth honour and justice file . Lets bring back natural justice?

Probe Reveals Red Cross Raised $500M for Haiti but Built Only 6 Homes / Sputnik International
Probe Reveals Red Cross Raised $500M for Haiti but Built Only 6 Homes / Sputnik International
For the record we ,as the KOC council worked on this needed relief project to help Haitians. our projects did not materialize because the "professional agencies such as the Red Cross was in charge." There is a lesson here when you follow up on the actual results . The question becomes how do we do good for and with our order in the future ? Food for thought ?
"After raising nearly half a billion dollars for emergency disaster relief after the 2010 Haitian earthquake - including $170 million earmarked for 'shelter relief' - the American Red Cross has built a grand total of six houses, according to a new report."
The American Red Cross claims to have provided homes to 130,000 Haitians crumble under scrutiny, as that number includes people "trained in proper construction techniques," those in temporary shelters, or people who received rental assistance, according to a Propublica/NPR report

How a change of heart led to a backlash from the ‘Church of Nasty’ | Toronto Star
How a change of heart led to a backlash from the ‘Church of Nasty’ | Toronto Star
"I obviously don’t blame the Catholic Church as such for all this, especially as there are myriad good and kind people within its ranks, many of whom sent me delightful letters and were extremely upset and ashamed about what went on. What has developed within the church, however, is a syndrome where people who are frightened of and angry with the world, who reject change and progress and look to a fantasy and apocryphal past age based on drunken nostalgia and personal insecurity, see a home in the conservative corridors of the house that is Roman Catholic. The Church of Nasty is thriving inside Catholicism, made all the more aggressive by a Pope who terrifies and disappoints them "
Brothers how do we solve the nasty challenge made?
