An attributing of the honourable work of
the Knights of Columbus, during my terms as Grand Knight St. James Council 4949, and as Past Faithful Navigator pf the John
Miles Assembly 2064 Vernon, British Columbia, and other organization I'm involved in.
You will find more about myself and
other International Organization I'm involved at www.kofj4949.org
serving St. James Council 4949 as Grand Knights from 2010 to 2012. In addition I have sevred the Msgr. John Miles
Assembky 2064 as Faithful Navigator from 2014-2016.
I'm very honored being elected, appointed or invited, as an active part to many different international
organizations. Those organizations have world wide recognition, but not associated. As a Humanitarian and Philanthropist it's my goal to help those organizations as much I can. Some of them are
Catholic organizations, like the Knights of Columbus, the Confraternity of the Knights of St. Peter and St. Paul. Others are non-religious and non-political organizations, Rotary International, A.N.G.E.L.Foundation
and |Inter Governmental Organization IGO, the Knights of H.O.P.E., the G.R.U.N. Foundation, and more which are
not posted on this website. Thanks for visiting my pages.
In 2020, State
Deputy Dale Hofer has suspended many 4th Degree members regading the new uniform for the 4th Degrre. Many of those 4th
Degree members served the Knights of Columbus in the 4th Degree for more than 35 years.
Still today the mojority
of Knights of Columbus members including the general public have not digested yet in full the change from the Regalia ,known
for over 75 years, to a military look-alike Uniform.
On January of 2020, I was also suspended, without any warning,
for 18 months by State Deputy Dale Hofer,
since I have questioned the implementation and change of the Regalia to the new uniform.
I was NOT wearing the retired Regalia after Supreme
has changed the Regalia to a Military look a-like Uniform.
"Fourth degree Knights from throughout California participated in a Mass June
29 at St. Mary's Cathedral to mark the order's transition from its longtime traditional regalia, left, of cape and feather-plumed
chapeau to a modern uniform of suit, tie and beret, right. "We wanted to celebrate for the last time the rich history
of the traditional regalia," John Dooley of San Pedro Calungsod Assembly told Catholic San Francisco. Our Lady of Guadalupe
Assembly and San Pedro Calungsgod Assembly sponsored the "Blessing of the Swords" Mass celebrated by Father Arturo
Albano, a Fourth Degree Knight. The Knights' board of directors adopted last summer a new uniform for the fourth degree
consisting of a suit, tie and beret. July 1 was the official change-over date. The organization said their research showed
the traditional regalia presented a barrier to membership, especially among younger men."
Today thousands of longtime Knights of Columbus members are suspended, some
of them active member for over 40 years, since they have either still wearing the Regalia and not the new uniform, which looks
like a Canadian Legion uniform.
I had questioned also the procedure and implementation
of the new uniform and get suspended for 18 months, in 2020, by at that time State Deputy of BC and Yukon, Dale Hofer, without
any warning etc. Yes, I am still very concerned in which direction the Knights of Columbus is turning.
I still
believe that every members of the Knights of Columbus should be entitled to ask questions, regarding the change from the regalia
to the new military look-alike uniform.
Pope Francis"Hypocrisyis the very language of corruption. And when Jesus speaks to his disciples,
he says: 'let your language be: Yes, yes! No, no.'Hypocrisy
is not a language of truth, because the truth is never given
alone. Never! It is always given with love! There is no truth without love. ..
But
there is more to this idea that churches are full of hypocrites. It is the accusation that people who go regularly to church
claim to believe in the Gospel, but live by completely different standards. It means that those people are one thing on a
Sunday , and quite the opposite for the rest of the week. ....
