Don't forget. We slaughter goats too. Lol. 3°Beware the secret handshake.
Well... considering what priests have been doing for many, many years, as well as bishops and cardinals, and even the pope (as far as sweeping things under a rug), I don't approve of secret societies at all. So many people have been hurt by the secrets the priests have kept! Girls Scouts, ladies' auxiliaries, 4-H, Boy Scouts - none of them demand that you do something in an initiation and then keep it secret from your spouse (The two should be as one? Apparently not.) There should be no reason to have secret things going on behind closed doors, with guards. My opinion.The Knights of Columbus degree ceremonies are only kept a secret because they contain aspects that are meant to get men fired up about their faith. The pope is a Knight and every parish priest is a Knight, nothing illegal or "scarey" happens. The secret of the degree is in place so that men get the full impact, and trust me, they will fire your fiance up about being Catholic and a man of God! I am a 3rd degree member, and I know my 3rd degree was AMAZING. The more degrees he receives the more active he will be able to be. I would like to firstly point out, this IS a Catholic ministry, I am unsure why you would be afraid in the first place, a priest (Fr. Michael McGivney) was the founder...
It’s not a secret society.
I would strongly disagree. When you have secret passwords, a secret handshake, cannot tell what happens during your initiation, then it is a secret society. Unless you are using some special definition of “society”. I looked up and found what happens in the first and second degrees and it is spooky. I would never have gone along with this.It’s not a secret society.

okay so he can't know what is going to happen, but why can't wives know? Why can I not know what he did after he did it. I want to know what he committed to and what he has gotten involved in. I understand the not knowing before hand makes the men honest about it, but why an I now not know what happened after he did it? It won't stop worrying me.
Can’t men do things with men without the wife knowing every detail?
Maybe get involved with some female friends.
You win. People have lost all commonsense and the concept of an innocent privacy anymore. I think this us a time where we can say the residents are running the insane asylum. There us really no rhyme or reason to anything anymore.
Agree! I could never tolerate someone needing to know my every move. Yuchh.
You are right, of course. But women today seem to have a rather proprietary view of their husbands. If he does something then gosh darn golly gee she has a right to know every last detail about it because woman.Can’t men do things with men without the wife knowing every detail?
