Knighthood and the Order of
the Knights of St. Thomas More, a recognized order
under the
International Alliance of Catholic Knights |
In the year of 2000, the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II
created Eamonn Fleming "Knight
Commander"
of the order of St. Gregory. He is also the President of the
International
Alliance of Catholic Knights of which the Knights of St. Thomas More are a
member (currently there are 15 orders around the world).
Mr. Mongiello is a Catholic, a Christian and a sinner like
all of us in this world. He chose "not just to pass
through" Europe, but to continue to be heavily involved with his faith and
people of the world.
Knighthood, being conferred in Belgium, and in Europe, as
a whole (for any American) is a distinct memory and privilege. As a
confirmed Catholic, former Altar boy and active parishioner around the world,
this has been a highlight. Whether he was forming "Operation Santa
Claus" at Camp David and giving up his entire Christmas day to visit the
poor, cooking Thanksgiving dinner for hundreds at his local church in Norfolk,
Virginia or making rice cakes for the starving in Japan (yes, there are poor
there) he has always done so with local laity of the
Catholic church.
The order of St. Thomas More welcomes all confirmed men to
attend meetings and join them in good acts to their fellow man, women and
children. Always bearing in mind that no one is perfect in this world and
Knighthood does not magically make a man never make a mistake again, in
life. To be a Knight is to stand for the Holy Father, the Catholic Church
and Christian beliefs and to help others. To be a Knight is not to be
clothed in white robes or garments swirling around your feet, while wearing
glistening armor atop a champion steed. It's going down to the old folks
home and making dinner, it's bringing your weed wacker to the church and cutting
the grass with 30 other men because it needs to be done and it's trying, every
day, to help someone.
