There was no way to contact Assembly 85 members so, as a non member, I did it all myself.

Roy Sapp Memorial Mass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_BFN-0k5o0

Once again I thank you all knights of Columbus, Jim Heil and Van his wife, sister Nữ and Vietnamese language school's teachers and Roy's Friends For your great supports for Roy and Trưong his wife in particular for your prayers, consolation and your presence at the funeral Mass. How generous and charitable you are! You are truly an excellent example of love , friendship and fraternity to me. May Jesus the Lord bestow on you all and your families all the best especially peace, joy, strength and happiness. I sincerely thank my brothers knights for the chalice, a so precious a gift that I could not expect. Please accept my thanks. Finally I express my gratitude to Jim and Van his wife for great love and sacrifice they had for Roy and his wife. God repay you both for that. Let us continue to pray for Roy that God may grant him eternal reward for all that he did for the church, the poor and knights of Columbus and console and sustain Truong in this sorrowful time.

The District Masters of the entire Philippines has sent a petition to the Supreme Office requesting that the current regalia be still used especially for religious purposes and since the Philippines is a poor country, the members will have a hard time purchasing the uniform.
Supreme's answer? NO.
This is definitely how this current leadership looks at its members.  This is charity at work for you!
As for the people behind this page, we will STOP our insurance and we will STOP paying our annual dues.

I am pleased to advise that the sample Fourth Degree uniform submitted by your office has been approved for use exclusively in the Fr. Magellan Province of the Fourth Degree of the Knights of Columbus.
 This uniform is not to be exported or sold to any member (s) living in the United States, Canada or any of the other 72 jurisdictions of the Order.
Sincerely and Fraternally, Dennis Stoddard
cc: Patrick E. Kelly, Deputy Supreme Knight
Jose C. Reyes, Supreme Director

Here is an approval for the manufacturer of the new uniform in the Philippines for their market only at a cost of $137-147 USD
(7000-7500 Philippine Pesos) for the entire ensemble (except sword/service baldric).
Here is the full text:  April 11, 2019  Worthy Vice Supreme Master and brother Ruel,
PS: We have received reports that Supreme purchases the uniforms from the Philippines at around $100 per set and sells them in the USA.
As you can see , Maybe you can, it is about the money.

Mike Voris Leaves the Knights of Columbus 
Michael Voris has publicly expressed what many other faithful Catholic men have quietly been doing for some time now,
 left the Knights of Columbus.
Many, many years ago, I naively thought the capes, swords and feathers parading in Masses meant they were men who defended Church teaching. When the Deposit of Faith, our schools, our children and the culture was under attack, they were one of the first groups I reached out to. I won't bore you with the all the details but every time I now see them in their ridiculous costumes, it generates disgust.
The Knights does fundraise and uses its sources to do some good work but sadly, the feathers and swords protect corruption, abortion and the political and theological indoctrination of our people into the slavery of sin.

Unfortunately, after that ordination, the El Cameo boys got their feelings hurt and told their Marshall, which told a state deputy which wrote a letter to Bishop Cahill stating that the new uniform is the law now and to please accept it.

THE LAW ?? now the K of C make laws for the church to follow 

It has been  six months since Al Castellano moved Assembly 085 to St John in Costa Mesa .
According to members, still in the Assembly, MOST meeting do not have the required Quorum to even hold a meeting.
Some report to me that only seven members attend.
All chairs are still not properly filled  July 2019

Al CASTELLANO F.N. e-mail stating
Holy Spirit is going to ( HAS ) cancel assembly future meetings based on there cancellation of January.

A NEW LOW AT ASSEMBLY 85 Fountain Valley            two weeks ago

Al Castellano F.N. <alckofc@gmail.com , took to lunch & gave the priest the Past Navigators $ 500.00 donation check ( the check Al stopped payment, see below ), requesting a Memorial Mass for Assembly 85 & Priest be the Assembly Spiritual leader at Holy Spirit Church.

NO CALL OUT for the mass.
NO COLOR CORP.  in attendances or escort for the Priest ,the C.C. commander , Alvin was not invited
NO MEMBERS in tuxedos .
NO REQUEST for wives of passed members to attend the service.
NO USAGE of the long time tradition program of respect used at a Memorial Mass.
NO TAPS, as in other Masses
NO KNIGHT ASSISTED in the mass, a non knight was asked by Priest to be alter server.

Al CASTELLANO F.N.  DIDN'T SHOW UP. Apx. 10 Men did show, one never attends assembly meetings.

As Sacristan of Holy Sprit Church, the presiding Priest ask me "what is going on with this group ? "
I explained, I believe it is a few state officers, are self-serving, egoistical men, with little religious connection to the church teaching .
There interest is gain in personal status, the good OL boy routine, ( most have no education or background in management ),
 control of money, and man power, at any cost to members or The Catholic Church.

YOU JUST READ, ABOVE , THE PROOF.

 

August  29 2018

This is not the first time the MASTER has tried to under mine ASSEMBLY85 .
In 2014 , Master Gene Hays used Barry J.M. Crawley and Barry made a $7,000.00 error in his audit.
The Master keeps trying to take control of ASSEMBLY 85 and the MONEY.
We all saw you coming and DONATED most of the MONEY TO CHARITY
Now totally pissed off, Al wants Donations back, stopped payment on two, will try again using the PSD.
How many OFFICERS STAYED in this assembly after Al Castellano took control.

We will not write a Donation Charity check to an individual as you requested— it will only be written to the Organization for a specific Program and under a cover letter etc

  • Are you still Officers as elected – Admiral and Trustee, respectfully,  as elected OR have you resigned from your Officers’ position???
  • If you have resigned your Officers’ position – are you still members of Assembly 85 OR have you resigned from Ass 85 to transfer to another Assembly?? – if the latter is the case, I will prepare the paperwork for your transfer!
  • Have you resigned from the Knights in total??? – if so again I will prepare the paperwork!

I respectfully need your responses to these queries AS SOON AS POSSIBLE – so we can continue to work to bring this Assembly to better health and strength!

Sk
Al Castellano, as  Navigator has put stop payments on approved donations. 
Donation to Holy Spirit Catholic Church and to the Hylond Convalescent Children’s Home were approve before he took office, in the budget.
A budget item used by Navigators completing there term of duty, for a charity  they supported..
As comptroller , there was over $ 6,000.00,  over one years Dues collection in the bank, when I left office, over twice the funds of any assembly in Orange county.
The dues collected last year from 100 member was $ 3,300.00 and you can not budget more then you collect,
Al does not have a APPROVED Budget for this FY (1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019). no officers or authority to approve.

I spoke with Fr. this Monday Aug. 20 at when we took him to dinner and explained:
This is why Knight State Offices want me removed as Comptroller, just to get the funds this group wisely collected and donated to worthy organizations,  to operate there programs. This act of revenge against previous Assembly officers clearly showing  proof  that the Master & State officers supported taking control of assembly and it's funds, removing me as a 7 year comptroller, to get it..

This is in response to the subject matter.  As part of the traditional $1,000.00 donation to the exiting Faithful Navigator for distribution to his favorite charity or cause, I chose to make a donation to Holy Spirit Catholic Church and to the Hylond Convalescent Children’s Home.  Check #1344 in the amount of $500.00 was presented to the Reverend Saul Alba-Infante for the September 15, 2018, Spanish Community event at Holy Spirit Church.  DO NOT STOP payment on this check since the funds have already been allocated.  There is a possibility the the check has not been deposited for the upcoming event.

The second check #1345 was issued to the Hylond Convalescent Children’s Home in the amount of $500.00.  Unfortunately, this check has not been deposited because checks made out to the Home go to a general fund to be used for other purposes rather than to the children for individual gifts.  
The past practice from St. Barbara Sacred Hearts Council 7309 was to purchase individual gifts by the Lady Knights that were given out at their annual Christmas Party.  The Hylond Home Administrator prefers that the check be made out to him rather than the Hylond Home so that the funds can be used locally for the Children.  I have the voided check in my possession, please DO NOT cancel the already allocated funds.  I will turn in check #1345 in exchange for a new check made out to the hospital administrator.

My Worthy Brother SKs and Officers

 I have been advised that we have 2 checks, written in June 2018 (1344 – donation to Holy Spirit and 1345 – donation to Highland House), that are missing or lost! The Purser has put a stop order/payment on both checks! These checks were provided on behalf of the FN Victor Sanchez, at the time.

 I am of the opinion that these checks should not be replaced! Reason:

From Oct 2017 thru April 2018 our Assembly contributed in access of $30,000 to various Charities. These expenditures have put our Checking account funds in a bind to be able to meet our APPROVED Budget for this FY (1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019). Since we have given so much to Charity this past FY, I do not think it prudent, to give this $1000 to Charity! We can use this $1000 in our checking account to support our Budget for this FY. 

Thus, as Faithful Navigator, I am directing that we do not re-write or replace these checks!

Knights of Columbus Sued for Fraud, Racketeering 
  https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/knights-of-columbus-cio-abruptly-steps-down
BOULDER, Colo. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A top Knights of Columbus executive � responsible for overseeing the organization's multibillion-dollar insurance operation � has abruptly stepped down from his position. 
The sudden departure comes as the world's largest fraternal Catholic organization is in court fighting accusations of fraud, racketeering, theft of trade secrets and breach of contract. 

The suit alleges UKnight was dismissed because KC executives discovered that UKnight's system would reveal fraudulent membership figures. 

According to papers filed in court, as its relationship with UKnight was developing, "KC, its independent local councils, and outside ratings agencies and software companies" collaborated to "artificially inflate the Knights of Columbus' insurable membership numbers, to artificially improve the demographic structure of this risk-pool, and to conceal this scheme."

Disrespecting all 10 of my Brother Chair Offices .
There is no excuse for your thoughtless actions

E-Mail just show how self-righteous, Steve and upper officers think they are, totally out of control . Self-righteous
 confident of one's own righteousness, especially when smugly moralistic & intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others.

 State wanted to replace Jim Heil with a Comptroller of there choosing, per a recorded phone conversation,
 heard by all officers during the Assembly officers meeting  Feb. 26 7:30 P.M.,
 Assembly  F.N. appointed a P.F.N. & Past comptroller to the position, per our bylaws.

Gene Hays brings Barry Crawley, to Mar. 8 general meeting to replace Jim Heil,
Barry had not attended a assembly meeting for 3 years, Gene said " it was a Coincidence "Barry showed up.
   TOO LATE , the entire assembly saw that move coming,
to
control assembly funds, restore face after forced to remove Barry from office March 12, 2015
This proves the state leadership is total out of control.

What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

2003, I found the books were altered when helping Roy Sapp ( Purser ) understand the bookkeeping mess Barry made. 
At that time thousands were missing from the assembly account and the account number were changed each year, to break the QuickBook audit trail. 
Ever since Barry has tried to discredit the finding & system I started as Comptroller in 2004 still in use today.
Barry changing the latest audit ( 2014 ) numbers to find fault,
 Harassed the Comptroller & Purser with a useless number systems to control & embarrass them. 
Barry has a problem understanding basic Account procurers and written instruction. 

Barry, 2yr Trustee 2014-2015, changed expense forms data, not allowed by the elected comptroller.
He took a private,  month long Audit,  making changes with his limited knowledge of account,
made a $7,000.00 error,
didn't read the instructions,
  SCHEDULE C- ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, Per capita Doesn�t apply to assemblies.
Gene Hays was pressured by assembly members,  to remove him from office
several men gave testimonial against Barry, and not one supported him , witnessed by Chaplin Fr Janze  March 12, 2015, 7:00 PM.
{ see 1 below }

Racism against the Vietnamese members. A very serious charge, ignored by state officers. 
" Why did the Vietnamese F.N. & Comptroller resigned mid term - 2014 " To show unity against Barry. 
My brother-in-law, Vietnamese, resigned  as trustee.
Jim Heil started the first Vietnamese council west of the Mississippi.
 { see 2 below }

Barry is the author of the embellishment cover-up in 2003 with Barry's  GET WELL DEPOSIT, not reported to Supreme.
 of this reconciliation �hokey-pokey� ( Barry's words )  evident through the Quickbook Pro reconciliation status 6/30/03,
Several still active, members put personal money to help recover the Assembly financial worth.

Due to the change in location, it is out of the service area of Assembly 85.
Suggest you contact the local Assembly and ask for Chalice service,  they can use a blank Chalice for the service.
Assembly 085 does have an engraved Chalice for Daniel Morgan, and will send directly to a Priest of the family choice.
Our policy is not to allow Chalices out of our direct control, no exceptions.

As to the other changes in Schedule C, since I did not have the Faithful Comptrollers Handbook with me during the meeting, I was not able to defend some of the numbers that were being viewed for removal in the Schedule C part of the Audit report.  The numbers in Schedule C relative to the
'Dues from 116 Members' totaling $7000 REALLY are supposed to be included according to the following instructions from pages 43-44 of the Handbook, AND they were included on the last Audit with numbers 109 and $3815.
----------------------------------------------------------------
SCHEDULE C � ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
This section will provide insight as to the financial condition of the council. From audit period to audit period it will indicate the council�s financial progress� or lack of it�and where necessary will enable the
trustees, state and district deputies, and the Supreme Council office to obtain a true picture of the council�s financial status..
However, in reviewing previous audits it is apparent that some councils include figures in this schedule that are not applicable to the audit period.
  This is particularly true relative to Due Supreme Council: Per capita in
the   -------------------------Liabilities column and Due from members in the Assets column. It appears that some councils are including as a liability the Supreme Council per capita levy for the period following the one for which the audit is being conducted.
For example, if an audit is being made for the period ending December 31, then the Supreme Council levy for January of the following year should not be shown on the Per capita line as a liability since the audit is for the period just completed.
  However, should that January levy not be paid by June 30, it would be included on the next audit. (Doesn�t apply to assemblies.)  ------------------

Regarding the Due from members line� This refers to dues owed and payable to the council. Such moneys are considered assets, but not yet collected. These moneys remain assets until such time as the member(s) are removed from the roles. If the financial secretary follows proper billing procedures, he will have sent the First Notices at least 15 days prior to the start of the period.
Entries are not to be made for those members being billed for the following period. To avoid confusion, billing notices should be dated as of the first of the month of the start of the period (January 1 or July 1) not the date the
bills are being prepared. However, should any portion of the bill remain unpaid into the next audit period, that portion is to be included on the ensuing Audit Report.

When a member is suspended or takes a withdrawal, the amount he owes appears on the Audit Report for the period in which he was suspended only. His ledger should be deleted from the council file on or before the end of the period in which he was removed. This procedure will help to ensure that a billing notice is not produced during the next billing period and eliminates the carryover from one period to another of uncollectible dues or other charges on members who have been removed from the roles.

Fraternally,
Barry J.M. Crawley
2yr Trustee 2014-2015

It started with my wife's brother-in-law one year ago during the annual assembly audit 2014. 
If you�re looking for the one word, time, a place and witnessed, you�re sadly missing the problem. 

The recent place was at Holy Spirit Church, March 12, 7:00 PM present was our Chaplain Fr John Janze, the Master, Gene Hays and members of the Assembly. 
Before the meeting, Fr John Janze asked for comments from the member and witnessed, several men gave testimonial against Barry, and not one supported him. 
Barry went in to a full melt down against his brother Knights as witnessed by our Chaplain Fr John Janze, Gene Hays and members of the Assembly. 

That alone is enough to remove him as a disruptive member of the assembly. 
This Issue involves action of Barry against the entire Assembly, not only the Vietnamese. 
Barry should have been removed or at least placed on suspension at that meeting

It turned into a bookkeeping / audit witch hunt. Asking what programs we are using in bookkeeping, it hasn't change since 2004.

Someone keeps thinking this is a bookkeeping audit issue. 
Supreme can request at any time and audit the books by a paid CPA. 
10 years ago, I found the books were altered when helping Roy Sapp ( Purser ) understand the bookkeeping mess Barry made. 
At that time thousands were missing from the assembly account and the account number were changed each year to break the QB audit trail. 
Ever since Barry has tried to discredit the finding & system I started as Comptroller in 2004 still in use today.
Barry changing the latest audit ( 2014 ) numbers to find fault, Harassed the Comptroller & Purser with a useless number systems to control & embarrass them. 
Barry has no education in bookkeeping or business experience. 
Barry has a problem understanding basic Account procurers and written instruction.

{  3  } AUDIT REPORT � 24Sep03

SYNOPSIS

Figure 1 shows that the year started with a $275 Deposit SHORTAGE

Figure 1 shows that during the year, another $1861.50 Deposit SHORTAGE accumulated

Figure 1 shows that as of 30Aug03, there was $2136.50 in �Deposit Shortages (credit memos)� for Deposit packages that had already CLEARED the Bank (less the CM shortages) and that on 02Sep03 deposits were in fact made that accounted for ALL but $22 of these credit memos.  THIS $22 WILL BE recorded as a LOSS subsequent to 30Jun03.  The Deposit Shortages ranged in being late from 89 to 390 days (see Figure 1) and clearly indicate that a monthly reconciliation with the Bank Statements was either NOT being done or being IGNORED.

During the process of the Audit, the records required by Supreme were either missing or inaccurate and the Quickbook Pro Database became the �baseline reference� for the actual deposits against the Bank statements, as opposed to the receipts between Comptroller and Purser.  The Warrant Vouchers and Vouchers were used to validate the actual expenses entered into Quickbook Pro, both were in sync and used for the Supreme report.

Based on the best data available, the attached AUDIT Report for Supreme, Figure 3, is hereby submitted and uses the actuals from the Quickbook Pro Database (and Vouchers), in spite of the �Deposit Shortages.  This is because ALL the �Deposit Shortages�, ALL but $22, were made �current� on 02Sep03, and these will �flush� through the system with the reconciliation of the OPP MMF Bank Statement for period ending 30Sep03.  The only compensating entry to be made in the database will be for the $22 LOSS and a Voucher will be submitted for this correction!.

The attached Figure 1 SUMMARY SHEET shows the timeline of deposits and the accumulation of discrepancies from �Credit Memos� that were NOT deposited along with the other checks of the respective deposits with which each CM was associated.

Three UN-ACCOUNTABLE Balancing Adjustments were made in the Quickbook Pro Books that transferred funds from �Retained Earnings� to the OPP MMF Checking account at the close of the last three six month �audit� windows.  These were as follows:

Date

Decrease

Increase

Balance

6/28/2002

40.14

 

11461.34

12/31/2002

 

25.64

12078.45

6/30/03

 

42.00

13029.23

Upon analyzing the �reason� for these entries, it appears that the entry of these �adjustments� enabled the period-ending reconciliation of the �Balance� with the Bank Statements WITH SOME NUMBER OF THE LAST DEPOSITS being shown as NOT YET CLEARED, when in fact some of MOST of them had.  It is surmised that the �adjustment� was an enabler for the �deposit shortages� to equal the sum of the supposedly NOT YET CLEARED deposits.

From Figure 2, one can see some of this reconciliation hokey-pokey  that was evident through the Quickbook Pro reconciliation status done for 6/30/03, as evidenced by the following:

Bobby Velasquez - E-Mail Steve , wants this assembly flags, our flags were in parades long before Bobby was around.

BOULDER, Colo. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A top Knights of Columbus executive � responsible for overseeing the organization's multibillion-dollar insurance operation � has abruptly stepped down from his position. The sudden departure comes as the world's largest fraternal Catholic organization is in court fighting accusations of fraud, racketeering, theft of trade secrets and breach of contract. 

The Hartford Business Journal reports that on May 11, Chief Insurance Officer Thomas Smith, Jr. notified Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson of his retirement, effective immediately. According to Kathleen Blomquist, senior director of corporate communications for KC, Smith's departure is unrelated to an ongoing legal battle with UKnight Interactive (UKnight), a Colorado-based IT firm KC had once employed.  

The lawsuit claims KC is hiding the true numbers of its members in order to keep up the appearance that it has sufficient numbers in its rolls to ensure future insurance payouts.Tweet

In 2017, UKnight filed suit in U.S. District Court against the Knights of Columbus, accusing executives of breach of contract. As part of its complaint, UKnight alleges that the organization is concealing a declining membership base in order to safeguard its multibillion-dollar insurance operation. In short, the lawsuit claims KC is hiding the true numbers of its members in order to keep up the appearance that it has sufficient numbers in its rolls to ensure future insurance payouts.

Speaking to Church Militant, UKnight spokesman Robert Siegfried, Vice Chairman of Communication for Kekst and Company, explained the IT firm "created a website that interconnects parties" � a valuable tool for an organization with 15,000 regional and local "councils," or chapters. The project was UKnight's "first entry into the business world, in terms of developing a customer base," Siegfried said. "In fact, Knights of Columbus was the only party they were marketing their services to."But "after working for several years with the Knights of Columbus, getting their system in place with the Knights of Columbus, the Knights didn't go forward with their system," he said.

According to the complaint

In 2009, UKnight began designing and implementing websites for independent, local Knights of Columbus councils in the Dallas, Texas area. UKnight's work was so successful at helping local councils increase membership, improve communication with members, and increase sales of insurance products that it was encouraged to make a proposal directly to KC for adoption by the entire Order.

The suit alleges that in September 2011, KC executives informed UKnight they had selected the IT firm as their "designated vendor for the entire Knights of Columbus fraternity," offering to "formally announce UKnight as such in exchange for UKnight accommodating certain requests (such as adding legal disclaimers to the websites) made by the KC legal department," as well as "allowing KC to make certain graphic design changes to its platform." UKnight notes that the contract was oral � the firm moved ahead without a signed written contract.

UKnight alleges that according to the terms of the agreement, KC "was not required to make any payment" for its services. Instead, the company's revenue would come from subscriptions to these services, "paid individually by each subscribing insurance agent, local council, assembly, and others." 

 Tom Smith, Jr., former CIO

This arrangement meant KC's endorsement of UKnight as dedicated vendor was critical to its business model. But, the suit alleges, the endorsement never came; instead, as UKnight worked to build a complex interactive, interconnective system to "serve the specific needs" of KC, the vendor received only repeated promises the endorsement was on the way.

According to the complaint, in January 2016, KC suddenly informed UKnight it was launching a search for a new vendor � a devastating blow to the IT firm. "Knights of Columbus decided not to continue moving forward," Siefgried told Church Militant. "That severely impaired the business potential of UKnight and ultimately the value of its business."

The suit alleges UKnight was dismissed because KC executives discovered that UKnight's system would reveal fraudulent membership figures. 

According to papers filed in court, as its relationship with UKnight was developing, "KC, its independent local councils, and outside ratings agencies and software companies" collaborated to "artificially inflate the Knights of Columbus' insurable membership numbers, to artificially improve the demographic structure of this risk-pool, and to conceal this scheme."  

Demographic analysis suggests the Catholic Church in the United States and Canada is in the beginning stages of an unprecedented retraction, with millions of its most dedicated, active members entering the last phase of their lives, while younger generations abandon the Church for other faiths or none at all. As pews empty, coffers drain and parishes and schools shut down. 

[A] shrinking membership and aging demographic would severely threaten its insurance rating as payouts to members' families upon death depend on a steady stream of new premiums and payments from younger members.Tweet

The complaint suggests that the Knights of Columbus is beginning to suffer from this same demographic collapse: "While KC has earned on average less than 5% returns on its $22 billion invested, the number of death benefits paid out has increased 5.67% year-on-year, demonstrating both a downward financial spiral and the effect of its rapidly-aging demographic." 

If true, this would have major financial implications. "The Knights of Columbus has two major sources of revenue," Siegfried explained. "One is membership; one is financial products. In particular, insurance sold to members of Knights of Columbus."

And KC's insurance products are "sold exclusively to members of the Knights of Columbus local councils in the United States and Canada only":

[A] shrinking membership and aging demographic would severely threaten its insurance rating as payouts to members' families upon death depend on a steady stream of new premiums and payments from younger members. Indeed, because KC currently has over $105 billion of insurance in force written against only $22 billion in assets, its insurance program must demonstrate that the Order's membership is growing and that its demographic is not aging in order to maintain the perception of viability to meet its future payout obligations.

The suit alleges KC inflates its membership numbers to maintain a veneer of sustainability. It accuses the organization of preventing its 15,000 local councils from deleting inactive members from their rolls, creating "phantom" councils of dead and lapsed members: 

Numerous agents and former agents of the Knights of Columbus have reported to Plaintiff that most councils have at least 15 to 20 members they would like to drop but are not permitted to by KC, suggesting that there are more than 300,000 "phantom members" in existing councils in the US and Canada. 

The Knights of Columbus reject these allegations, denouncing them as "scandalous" and "utterly false." 

"Strip away all the absurd claims, and this case boils down to a garden-variety business dispute by a website vendor that failed to close a business deal," KC declared in a recent court filing. 

"The true nature of this action is that the plaintiff (UKnight) is a disappointed prospective vendor that offered the order inferior and outdated website services that the order refused to endorse," it added. "UKnight is now trying to accomplish through this lawsuit what it could not get through product development and sales negotiations."

 Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight 

In March, U.S. District Court Judge R. Brooke Jackson ruled against UKnight's racketeering claim and its challenge to KC's tax-exempt status. But he also ordered KC to release its membership information, writing: "I find no merit in the hodge-podge of arguments the Knights of Columbus have put forth in what appears to be an almost desperate attempt to preclude any discovery concerning membership information."

KC has not yet turned over its membership figures. In April, the suit was stayed to allow UKnight to secure new counsel, after the firm's original attorney was forced to step down from the case for health reasons. It is expected to resume soon. 

On May 1, UKnight founder Leonard Labriola sent a letter to Anderson accusing KC senior management of "executive misconduct." In it, he noted his company took legal action only after a half-dozen letters sent to Anderson in 2016 went unanswered. 

Church Militant asked Siegfried if Labriola had received any response to his seventh letter.

"He's not heard from Mr. Anderson," he replied. 

The letter was published in a May 10 press release summarizing UKnight's allegations against the Knights of Columbus. The following day, Smith stepped down as Chief Insurance Officer.

calledtoloveCOVER(NEW HAVEN, CONN.) - In 1979, Pope John Paul II, drawing from the whole of the Catholic tradition, introduced to the Church and the rest of the world his "theology of the body," a rich presentation of the Church's teaching on the relationship between spirituality and the physical body.

In Called to Love: Approaching John Paul II's Theology of the Body (Doubleday Religion, on sale 4/14/09, $24.00), New York Times best-selling author Carl Anderson and Father Jos� Granados build upon these teachings and further examine the tremendous gift they offer.

"Christianity is itself the fullness of love," says Anderson. He continues that the experience of love in all its different forms is worth understanding, enabling Catholics to rediscover the full treasure of this Christian tradition and integrate it into daily life.

Anderson and Granados teach that the human body beholds wonder and mystery that teaches people about love in its purest form, and that it speaks of God revealing His goodness. It also speaks of men and women and the innate human desire to love. The summary of these teachings gives a new understanding of the Christian way of love, how it directly intersects with faith and how to embrace both faith and love fully in life.

Carl Anderson is supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus and vice president of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

Father Jos� Granados is Assistant Professor of Patrology and Systematic Theology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and  Family at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

Pope receives Supreme Knight and Supreme Chaplain at the Vatican

Pope Benedict XVI received Supreme Knight Carl Anderson and Supreme Chaplain Bishop William Lori in a private audience at the Vatican on Thursday, December 6, 2007.
 On behalf of the 1.7 million members of the Knights of Columbus, Supreme Knight Anderson presented His Holiness with a gift of $1.6 million, representing this year’s earnings from the Order’s Vicarius Christi Fund, which was established in 1981.
 Over the past 25 years, the fund has provided more than $43 million to the Vicar of Christ for his personal charities and causes.

 

Pope Benedict XVI, on Oct. 17, announced the elevation two K of C members to the College of Cardinals:
Archbishops John P. Foley and Daniel N.DiNardo. The Cardinals-designate will join 21 other churchmen in receiving their red hats and rings during a Nov. 24 consistory in Rome

Cardinal-designate Foley is a Pennsylvania native and member of Our Lady of Lourdes Council 4546 in Philadelphia. He was recently named pro-grand master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem after serving for 23 years as the president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.

Cardinal-designate DiNardo was born in Steubenville, Ohio, and was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Pittsburgh. He is a former bishop of Sioux City, Iowa, and was installed as archbishop of Galveston-Houston in 2004. He is a member of Father Vincent Joseph Guinan Council 13940 at the University of St. Thomas in Houston.

Cardinal-designate Francisco Robles Ortega, native of Mascota, Mexico, is a member of Santa Martha Council 14098 in Monterrey. He was ordained in 1976 and served as auxiliary bishop and bishop of the Diocese of Toluca before being appointed archbishop of Monterrey in 2003. He serves as chaplain of the Northeast Mexico State Council.

On Oct. 18, Pope Benedict XVI elevated two Canadian bishops,both Knights of Columbus, to become metropolitan archbishops. They are Bishop Martin Currie of Grand Falls, who becomes metropolitan archbishop of Saint John & rsquos, Nfld., and Bishop Anthony Mancini, auxiliary bishop of Montreal, as metropolitan archbishop of Halifax, N.S.
