SOMETHING THE MANAGEMENT OF K OF C NEEDS TO LEARN & FAST.
Faithful Watchers of the Knights of Columbus
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.
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 |
--- 2021
---- --- 2020 ---- Nov. 1, 8985 ---- 2019 ---- Dec. 14 8370 ---- 2018

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 |

{ 3 } AUDIT REPORT � 24Sep03 SYNOPSISFigure 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:
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: |

May , 2003 |
{ 4 } 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:
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 CIOThis 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":
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:
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 KnightIn 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. |

(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.
