The Left have sold their soul on these issues, but I say No Surrender! - paul rimmer Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:55:25 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-9448 The Venetians and Spaniards did provide a LITTLE help you know... - jason taylor Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:17:37 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-3790 very good posting,i liked it. thank you for this post. - Nick Matyas Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:47:01 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-2218 This is a great article. I’m new to blogging but still learning. Thanks for the great resource. - wow gold Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:22:17 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-1420 Two minor corrections. The Knights were given Malta in 1530, long before the battle of Lepanto. Lepanto occurred only 6 years after they defeated the the Turks in the battle of Malta. They lost so many knights in that battle that they were a small part of the force at Lepanto, commanding 3 galleys. - Dave Sun, 12 Apr 2009 23:11:30 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-1348 Congratulations,you are a real knight,our church needs knights that protect the unborn. - adriano Sat, 04 Apr 2009 07:52:03 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-805 You cannot serve the evil culture and GOD. God creator of life - Netto Sun, 15 Mar 2009 09:00:09 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-803 Right to life and marriage between man and woman are battles to win not unlike those fought by the Knights centuries ago. Evil is creeping into our very Catholic fabirc. The spread of the evil is supported by a passive instruction and required gentleness with, "we need to accept the way each person feels about the beliefs of the church." - Dave Sat, 14 Mar 2009 20:03:26 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-802 It is important to make the distinction between the Knights of Malta as the Order nominating an individual to become a member and one of the Knights or Dames sponsoring a candidate to become a member. At this point Mr. Williams was not "honored" by the Order with anything. Mr. Williams would still need to pass review by the Admissions committee and then ultimately approval from Rome before becoming a Knight. - John Sat, 14 Mar 2009 11:27:28 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-800 As Mr. Ruse points out, nomination from within the membership and active consideration of McAuliffe and of Williams should never have even happened. But what should not have happened but did was the investiture in 2003 of the president of once-Catholic Georgetown University which continues its degrading downhill slide. - Savonarola Sat, 14 Mar 2009 11:26:52 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-798 I am constantly amazed that people who quite posibly should be excommunicated are instead honored. While we should be charitable toward a person and their soul, how charitable is it to allow them to persist in error and publish that error so that others may join them? Where are Thomas More and Thomas a Becket when we need them? - dancny Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:28:13 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-796 2nd post- thank you Austin for your work. thank you Fr. Schall for yours. and to Brad, & Kirk & Robert Royal, Hadley, all of you--it's a beautiful, public, daunting task. & to all those who post you have my prayers & my company. for you all know, we each have our part in supporting & building the Kingdom. More are coming in& yes some are leaving. but the remant in the end will be Spotless, Holy. And i for one want to be right along side of you brave knights. i am so proud to be Catholic! - debby Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:45:14 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-795 The Knights of Malta won the day at Lepanto because the Holy Father called all the Church to fast & pray the Rosary for GOD's will to be done--and they obeyed. No one, no group, no party, wins on their own. Be we hobbits in Shelab's lair, prisoners in concentration camp, moms & dads in the burbs, we are ALL called to holiness & prayer, living in communion w/our Lady. Maybe our Holy Mother Church would not have so many stains on Her Bridal gown if we would all do our very little yet heroic part. - debby Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:44:12 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-794 Excellent and timely article - we need a new breed of knights, ready for battle! - Father Benedict Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:56:28 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-793 How can Holy Mother Chruch expect Her children to take seriously what She teaches when those who openly rejejct those teachings are honored by inclusion in oders reserved for defernders fo the faith? Loyal KofC or KoM must protest to their leaders and the Vatican, not out lack of charity but precisely because allowing this scandal mocks charity! By the way, Mr. Ruse, when did you join KofC? - Thomas C. Coleman, Jr. Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:56:16 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/the-knights-of-malta-and-the-right-to-life.html#comment-792 Well, I suppose we should be hearing soon that John Kerry is nominated for papal knighthood. It is things like this that frustrate and anger the faithful who follow the churches teachings. Is it any wonder why Catholics vote for anti-life candidates with no qualms of conscience. Is this part of the acceptable "seamless garment?" Can money buy papal honors or recognition in religious orders? I agree the events you mentioned stop short of scandal, but at the next battle of Lepanto will we lose? - William Dennis Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:14:47 +0100
