Knights of Columbus in harms way

The Knights of Columbus was founded by a Priest - Father Michael J. McGivney who will soon be elevated to " Venerable" - the last step before "Beatification".
Wouldn't good catholic men want to be members of an organization founded by a SAINT ?

New Haven, CT - March 16, 2008 - Pope Benedict XVI Saturday approved a decree recognizing the heroic virtue of Father Michael J. McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus. The pope's declaration significantly advances the priest's process toward sainthood and gives the parish priest the distinction of "Venerable Servant of God." If canonized, Fr. McGivney would be the first American born priest to be so honored.
