Yeh NCR staff!  Am writing a similar "commentary" for the little Benedictine magazine for which I am an occasional columnist (as I am able ... they wanted me to do something each issue or at least each month).  American Religious Liberty lawyer Mr. Nussbaum (a council for the Supreme Council) tried to have my little column cancelled and really went after the editor who is both a K of C as well as abbot!  

What I have since learned is that Canada's ambassador to the Vatican was one of those highly paid members of the Supreme Council ... Deputy Supreme Knight (Dennis Savoie) ... and was named by our former Prime Minister ... a Koch funded Conservative government.

However - please stop falsely equating "partisan" and "political.  

AND keep up the great work.
