I appreciate the NCR bringing this connection to light for the rest of us.  AND thanks to the NCR we can all talk with our local Knights of Columbus as well as other people in our parish about their emphasis on charity/caritas as only almsgiving rather than charity/caritas as also needing us to move towards development modes that enable all to have life with dignity for the full continuum.  Since 1987 - with the publication of Our Common Future ... any notion of "pro-life" that does not include the the environmental devastation required by our dominant mode just to stay afloat is not being honest.  Even St. John Paul II states this with his introducing into our Official Teachings the notion of social sin and social mortgage in his 1987 encyclical Sollicitudo Rei Socialis .  He also states in that encyclical that "giving and giving from our surplus is not enough" - which is essentially the model practiced and  promoted by the K of C.  We can hold them accountable.
