Pretty shocking! But not surprising considering the number of pro-abortion Democrat knights in the state legislature. (It was knights in the legislature who enabled same sex "marriage" in Massachusetts in 2007.) The Knights of Columbus have not marched in the Boston St. Patrick's Day parade EVER. But once true Catholic groups began to leave the parade, voila! the Massachusetts State Council announced it would join. Giving cover to the Mayor, perhaps? What real knight who loved the faith would consent to march in that parade?
Here's the press release from the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts
ACTION ALERT !!!

SEND MESSAGE TO KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS:
DO NOT DISHONOR SAINT PATRICKLast December, in a shocking defeat for Catholic religious freedom rights, a minority on the board of the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council---the organizers of Boston's Saint Patrick's Day Parade---dispossessed the majority, surrendered to political pressure orchestrated by Mayor Martin Walsh, and agreed to permit a homosexual group to march in the 2015 parade.
In doing so, this minority dishonored themselves, discarded a hard fought, 9 to 0 U. S. Supreme Court decision, and betrayed their Faith, their heritage, and all those persons, living and dead, who struggled for twenty-three years to preserve the Catholic and family character of the parade.
As a result of this betrayal, a parade in honor of a Catholic saint will now become a propaganda vehicle to legitimize sodomy. A parade in honor of Saint Patrick will become a forum for those who express pride in rejecting the religion and morality of Saint Patrick.
Consequently, the faithful Catholics of Immaculate Heart of Mary School publicly withdrew from the parade last Thursday.
Now, incredibly, at a time when real Catholics are leaving the parade, the Massachusetts State Council of the Knights of Columbus---who never marched in the parade before, at least in the last thirty years---have announced that they will march in the 2015 Boston Saint Patrick's Day Parade.
It is almost impossible to believe that this is a coincidence. It would seem that the Knights are giving political cover to the Veterans Council, to Mayor Walsh, or both, by pretending the parade is still a Catholic friendly event. (Interestingly, the State Deputy of the K of C is a resident and small business owner in Dorchester, Mayor Walsh's hometown.)
The decision of the K of C to march, whatever their motivation, is a disgrace. Please contact the Massachusetts State Council of the Knights of Columbus and tell them how disgusted you are that they would march in a parade that includes homosexual activists, and which will be celebrated in the media as a victory for gay rights. Urge them to cancel their plans to march in this sham parade, which makes a mockery of Saint Patrick!
You may contact the State Council by telephone at 781-551-0628, by fax at 781-551-0490, or by e-mail at State.Office@masskofc.org. You may also contact State Deputy Russell Steinbach at his home telephone at 617-282-7752.
For twenty-three years, homosexual militants tried to force their way into the Saint Patrick's Day Parade, while the Massachusetts K of C stood by and did nothing. Now that the militants have succeeded, the Knights, suddenly, want to march. It is really quite appalling!
