More than 2,000 Knights from around the world, many of them with their wives and children, along with 12 cardinals and more than 70 bishops attended the Aug. 6-8 convention.

VATICAN CITY — The Knights of Columbus “have worked tirelessly” to help U.S. Catholics recognize and oppose efforts to “redefine and restrict the exercise of the right to religious freedom,” said a message signed by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Vatican secretary of state.
The theme chosen for the Knights’ Aug. 7-9 convention in Anaheim, Calif., “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land,” is a reminder not only of “the great biblical ideals of freedom and justice which shaped the founding of the United States of America, but also the responsibility of each new generation to preserve, defend and advance those great ideals in its own day,” the cardinal wrote.
