The head of the Knights of Columbus on Wednesday expressed gratitude for the "balanced and prophetic" statement issued by the US bishops' conference on the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden.
Supreme Knight Carl Anderson said Jan. 20 that the Knights are "grateful to Archbishop Gómez and the leadership of the USCCB for their balanced and prophetic statement about the teaching of the Church in relation to the issues that we face in our country."
"In its fidelity to the Gospel, the Church must always promote unity rooted in the Truth. We commend the Archbishop's hope for working with the new Administration and support his clear statement regarding the defense of all vulnerable people and the preeminent priority of the defense of the unborn."
Anderson added that "We join with Pope Francis in offering the prayers of the Knights of Columbus for President Biden that God guide his hand in working 'to foster understanding, reconciliation and peace within the United States and among the nations of the world in order to advance the universal common good.'"
