Pope Francis met with a delegation from the Knights of Columbus in the Vatican Monday, thanking them for their “faithful witness to the sacredness and dignity of human life.”
The delegation, led by Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson, was on pilgrimage to Rome for the 100th anniversary of the Knights’ charitable activity in Rome, which began after Pope Benedict XV invited the Knights to provide humanitarian aid in Rome following the First World War.
“The Knights responded generously, establishing sports centres for youth that quickly became places for education, catechesis and the distribution of food and other essentials so needed at that time,” the pope said in his address, following the vision of their founder, Michael McGivney, “who was inspired by the principles of Christian charity and fraternity to assist those most in need.”
“Today the Knights of Columbus continue their work of evangelical charity and fraternity in a variety of fields,” Francis continued. “I think in particular of your faithful witness to the sacredness and dignity of human life, evident at both the local and national levels.”

KoC are a legit group trying to hold true to real Catholicism.
This Pope is a socialist POS and globalist. F- him.
Yes KoC fight to good fight. The Pope is just another pedi protector and probably one himself.
From an anonymous Former Knight and Catholic.
The Church has no need for a secret organization.
Nothing secret about the Gospel
I’m a KofC and proud of it.
As an FYI the St. Francis de Sales chapter of the Knights of Columbus in Salisbury has a picture of Joe Biden on their main wall with the Pope and the Archbishop! WTH are they thinking???
