RESOLUTION - REASON AGAINST


RETURN TO RESULUTION HOME PAGE Reasons Against the Bishop's Letter
Below are reasons given to Steve Lovison, in one form or another, stating why we should, in effect, ignore Bishop Vann's letter.  These reasons have been published here in a raw format after Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly's "Knights of the Eucharist" email went out to all Knights on March 6th, 2023
 
 
  1. Knights are not strong enough in the faith
  2. Knights are not ready
  3. Making Adoration a Priority is an insult to those who do the real work, ie, parish hall setup, pancake breakfasts, Fishfrys, Special Olympics, Business Meetings,  ID Drives
  4. Some men are just at different levels of spirituality
  5. Don’t you know that statements like "Knights of the Eucharist" are only platitudes?
  6. The bishop's letter is not important to the bishop
  7. You need to be patient
  8. The Knights are best doing stuff
  9. Prayer is important but doing stuff is more important.
  10. I did not join the Knights to be fed holier-than-thou Catholic faith stuff. All a Knight needs to do is go to Mass on Sunday.
  11. Scheduling one hour a week in Eucharistic Adoration will not leave me anytime for all the Knights work I am active in.
  12. I am not my brother's keeper. Saving souls from hell is not the mission of the Knights.
  13. Most men joined the Knights to be of service. Telling them their priority is personal prayer and holiness is discouraging. The Knights can promote personal prayer and holiness on others but don’t impose it on us.
  14. Just look at the giant March for Life we organized. That shows we are faith in action all the way. We don't need to actually go in a Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
  15. The Knights mission is not spirituality. The Knights mission is to do stuff. If I want Catholic Spirituality I will join the Legion of Mary, make a Cursillo, join a 3rd Order, join Catholic Men's Fellowship
  16. You can't force the Knights of Columbus to do this. They have to want to do this. They have to love the Eucharist enough to do this.
  17. We only need 4 holy hours of Adoration a year to become a Star Council. Why promote any more time that that?
  18. 2017 was a long time ago, no need anymore.
  19. I don't see the fruits of going to Adoration.
  20. Once the Three Year Revival is over we will go back to normal. "Revivals" are blips in time.
  21. In Council 6020 we are cooks. THAT is what we do.
  22. Too busy
  23. Holy Hours conflict with other Knights activities.
  24. Can't we just say we support the Bishop's letter?
