FAITHFUL NAVIGATOR’S MESSAGE
Greetings Worthy Brother Sir Knights,
Happy Advent & Merry Christmas Brother Sir
Knights,
Well we had an early start to the winter season
with a snowfall on Halloween this year; Lord knows
how the rest of this winter will play out. However
every year the month of December holds great
opportunities for us to grow in our Catholicism,
starting with the Advent Season preparing for the
celebrated arrival of the birth of our Lord & Savior
Jesus Christ. December also presents an opportunity
for all Sir Knights & their spouses to celebrate Mass
& Fraternal time together at our Christmas Social to
be held at the Believers Center, Christ the King
Church in Moline on Thursday December 5th.
Mass will be celebrated by Father Duane Jack
assisted by Deacon Russ Swim at 5:00PM in the
Believers Chapel, we will have a short meeting after
Mass in the Chapel as our spouses start the social
hour downstairs. Dinner will be served at 6:30 PM
& we have entertainment lined up that will certainly
put you in the Christmas spirit. The cost is $25.00
per person; please plan on paying our Purser
Mike Daly at the door. Also, please bring an
unwrapped gift for a child to add to our Angel Tree
if you are able to.
We have had great attendance at our meetings & I
hope to see that continue. But we can always improve
upon our attendance. Please bring a Sir Knight that
we haven’t seen lately with you to our Christmas
Social this year. We need to fraternize with our
brother Sir Knights, so again I appreciate you all
being there, please continue to attend our meetings.
The last day to RSVP for our Christmas Social is
Dec. 2nd to provide our caterer with a meal count.
I will be sending this Message out to our email list as
well, due to the fact that our Abstract Newsletter may
not arrive prior to this deadline……
The next scheduled 4th Degree Exemplification
in the Southern District (which we are part of):
March 21st, 2020 Double Tree Hotel, Mount
Vernon, IL. It is my understanding that a Southern
District Exemplification may be scheduled in
Springfield next spring as well & possibly in Peoria
next fall. The next scheduled 4th Degree
Exemplification in the Northern District: February
22, 2020, Sheraton Lisle Hotel, Lisle, IL. There is
also a possible Exemplification in the Northern
District in Savanna, IL. next fall. Remember, we must
comply with submittal requirements & deadlines, &
all funds will be forfeited if the candidate backs out.
Again for our December Christmas Social, I will
need a count for our caterer by Dec.2nd for number
of meals (prime rib) so please RSVP your reservation
to me ASAP via phone (309) 593-2756 or email
[email protected] so that I have the proper count
for the Caterer, & if possible, invite & bring a widow
of a fallen Knight with you to help celebrate our
Christmas Social. Her meal will be complimentary
by the Assembly. I’m looking forward to seeing our
Quad Cities Sir Knights……as well as our Geneseo
Sir Knights & their spouses, please join us in
celebrating the Birth of our Savior.

DEACON’S QUESTION BOX
See the Abstract Archives for a list of past questions.
Why Do You Go to Mass?
It seems like every day I hear from a patient, ‘I
don’t belong to a parish’, ‘I haven’t gone to Mass in
years’, or ‘I have a great relationship with Jesus &
don’t need Mass to pray’. When I dig a little deeper
for the reasons, I usually hear one of two things:
‘Father said (or did) something that made me feel
unwelcome’ or more often ‘I don’t get anything out
of the Mass’.
So why do you go to Mass? Do you go out of a
sense of duty because your 2nd grade teacher told you
that hell awaits those who don’t go to Mass? Do you
go because you see your friends there & it is a time
to ‘build community’? Do you go just to receive the
Eucharist? Or do you go out of love of God & a
desire to worship Him? If you agreed with one of the
first three reasons, then I am glad it is getting you to
Mass but they are problematic.
The Old Testament contains quite a bit of history
about how the Israelites followed the law out of duty
& ended up repeatedly wandering away from the
Covenant. God desires your heart, not your blind
obedience.
While Jesus refers to us as a community of
followers, there are better places like coffee &
conversation for building those relationships. God
created us in community but when it comes to Mass,
the focus is on Him not each other.
As for receiving the Eucharist as your prime
motive, St. Paul has much to say about worthy
reception. He reminds us that to receive worthily
means not having serious, unconfessed sin on our
soul & having a well-founded belief that this is the
Body, Blood, Soul, & Divinity of our Lord Jesus
Christ with a desire to be joined with Him.
Bottom line: We go to Mass because we are
creations who should worship & thank the One who
created us; the One who loves us for ourselves. That
is the principle reason to be there. God in His
Goodness & Love responds by granting Sacramental
Grace through the Word & through the Eucharist.
And your body & soul must participate together.
That means your body is reinforcing your soul when
it reflects the reverence you feel for being in the
presence of God through its actions.
Feel free to drop me a question for this
column. Questions may be dropped off
on the head table at a Council Meeting
or sent via email to Deacon Russ Swim,
Assistant Chaplain,
[email protected], phone 786-3097.
PRO-LIFE MESSAGE
The Difference One Racist Made: Margaret
Sanger’s World
Many Americans don’t think Planned Parenthood
is evil. Let’s take a look at its founder. Margaret
Sanger was born in 1879 in New York, one of 11
children born into an impoverished family. Her
mother was Catholic, her father an atheist. Her
mother had several miscarriages & died at an early
age. Though the cause of death was listed as
tuberculosis, Margaret always attributed her early
death to the fact that her mother was weak from
bearing so many children. This deep-seated disdain
for large families would encompass her life &
contribute to a belief that women should limit—or be
limited—in the number of children they have.
Sanger eventually went to nursing school, then
married & had three children. She & her husband
became immersed in the bohemian world of
Greenwich Village, where they lived. It was at this
time that she joined the New York Socialist Party &
began to advocate for the “sexual education” of
women. Though she never finished nursing school,
Sanger began working as a nurse in a poor immigrant
section of NYC, where she grew to believe in—&
teach—the importance of birth control. She also
began to write about these beliefs in a column
entitled “What Every Girl Should Know.”
Then, in 1914, she started her own publication
which advocated for women using birth control.
Because she mailed out this publication, she was in
violation of the Comstock Act, which made it illegal
to disseminate immoral materials through the mail.
Facing possible jail time for her actions, Margaret
fled to England, where she continued to do research
on birth control & contrive a plan to disseminate it.
In 1915, knowing that the charges in the US had
been dropped against her, Margaret returned to the
US, &, a year later, opened the first birth control
clinic in the states. A little over a week later, she was
arrested & spent 30 days in jail for again being in
violation of the Comstock Law. Sanger would later
appeal the conviction, which would not be
overturned. However, the judge in the case did make
an exception to the law that would allow doctors to
prescribe contraception for medical reasons. This
opened the door for the future legalization of birth
control. In 1917, Sanger began to publish & edit The
Birth Control Review, which she edited until 1929.
In 1921, she established the American Birth
Control League, which would eventually become
Planned Parenthood. It didn’t take long, but Sanger
became a public voice at the forefront of a
reproductive revolution. Not only a powerful driving
force in the legalization of birth control, she
advocated & spread eugenics in the spearheading of
the birth control mentality—with the ultimate goal
of eliminating unwanted people.
Those who espouse eugenics believe that only the
fit should be allowed to live. Many eugenics
proponents—like Hitler—believed in a master race,
at the exclusion of any other person or race deemed
unfit. We see this eugenic philosophy in the
extermination of six million Jews during WWII. And
Sanger had those with known Nazi connections &
sympathies writing for The Birth Control Review.
Nazis in Germany were also well aware of the name
of Margaret Sanger.
We can thus say with certainty that Planned
Parenthood honors a person (Margaret Sanger) who
not only befriended authentic racists & Nazis, but
gave them a widespread platform to spread their
poison. In fact, PPFA names its most prestigious
award after Margaret Sanger, allowing her eugenic
legacy of hatred & intolerance to live on. Today,
Planned Parenthood does everything it can to
eliminate the unfit of society & to profit off women
in crisis pregnancies. It builds abortion facilities in
ethnic communities & worms its way into our
schools so that it can increase its client base by
corrupting our children. Yes, the legacy of this one
woman is alive & well. The insidiousness has left an
indelible mark.
In her articles & speeches, Sanger gave evidence
time & again that she considered there to be a close
link between birth control & eugenics. As the author
of articles, Sanger showed the world her true colors
& the underlying reasons why she thought the world
needed birth control. Eugenics goes even deeper than
racism, because the philosophy espouses it has the
right to determine who should live, who should
reproduce, & who should die.
In “Birth Control & Racial Betterment,” Sanger
writes: “We who advocate birth control, on the other
hand, lay all our emphasis upon stopping not only the
reproduction of the unfit but upon stopping all
reproduction when there is not economic means of
providing proper care for those who are born in
health.”
In Sanger’s mind, those who are sick or weak
should not be allowed to live. Furthermore, she
asserts that these people could not possibly ever be
happy. And she states that those babies who might be
born into families not well off economically should
not be allowed to live & that adults with a lack of
financial means should not be allowed to have
children.
Yet, who is Margaret Sanger to say who might or
might not be sick, weak, rich, poor, happy, or
unhappy? Who is she to tell a couple that their child
will be a burden? This is a violation of basic human
rights.
We were created out of love by a Creator who
knows only love for us & who wants what’s best for
us. We all have different abilities, but we are made
in His image, & as such every human life is sacred.
Sanger does not look at the sanctity of a human life,
but only at “utility.” But Sanger’s not-so-subtle
messages sadly resonated with many then, & now.
In “The Eugenic Value of Birth Control
Propaganda,” she writes: “The eugenic &
civilizational value of birth control is becoming
apparent to the enlightened & the intelligent.”
So, in her opinion, it is only the “enlightened &
the intelligent” who can see the value of birth control.
And those of us who understand that birth control
harms women & that it can kill babies prior to their
implantation are simply stupid. After all, who
doesn’t want to be seen as intelligent or enlightened?
Ironically, she was the sixth of eleven children. If her
mother had followed her daughter’s practices, would
there have been a Margaret Sanger?

GRAND KNIGHT’S MESSAGE Brother Knights, Families & Friends:
As November ends, I turn my thoughts to what I am grateful for. Most of all I’m grateful for my Catholic faith
and how it has brought me closer to Christ. Along with my relationship with our Holy Father I’m grateful for the
Knights of Columbus and the wonderful people I’m privileged to work with. November was a slow month in
comparison to the months prior. The mass for the deceased was held in the early part of the month. My thanks
go out to Dr. Greg Schneider for an excellent effort as usual. Next year we need to show more support for the
families of our deceased members, after all there will be a mass held for all of us sooner or later. Next was our
Men’s Morning of Reflection held at St. Mary’s. The topic was Mary’s men. Great topic and great discussion,
but again low turnout. I believe there was as many from outside our council as where from our council. Now
finally the bags tournament. We had to cancel the second attempt due to no interest. This one is on me guys. I
forgot how hard it is to set up a new project. I should have remembered how hard it was for the first fish fry and
trivia night. Both a success now, so not being one to quit, I will be setting up a committee to see where we go
from here.
Next up December. Hope to see you all at coffee and conversation on the 1st . I would like to thank everyone
for volunteering for ringing the kettles.: Rick Cervantes, Kevin Houser, Mike McKinney, Lance Johnson, Dave
Cray, Jim Richardson, Dick Hunt, Jeremy Goffrier, Gene Paprocki, Dave Sullivan, Red Pearson, Pat Kernan, Bob
Spalding, Jim Wieland, and Jerry Schroeder. Speaking of volunteers, we need someone to head up the right to
life breakfast.
