- The CYO died out in Canada after Vatican II (1963-5). The Knights are still
- around but keep a low profile. I can't speak for what it's like in the US.
- I can say that the style of the KofC, ie. its anti-protestant character,
- was a definite no-no after Vat.II. Its original purpose was to give the
- Micks somewhgere to go, 'cause they couldn't join the Masons. WHat's left
- of them now pretty much does for the Catholic Church, what the Shriners do
- for everyone.
