Hundreds of members of the Knights of Columbus have petitioned the group’s Supreme Chaplain, Baltimore Archbishop William Lori, in response to President Donald Trump’s June 2 visit to the Knights-owned St. John Paul II Shrine in Washington, D.C. The visit came one day after the administration ordered the use of tear gas to disperse a protesting Black Lives Matter crowd for another religiously-themed presidential photo op.
Lori should respond to the petitioners’ concerns about politicking and the organization’s own history of prejudice and racism.
