The task of the laity is to renew culture through distinctive and authentic Christian witness.

Supreme Knight Carl Anderson issued the following statement Dec. 12 upon learning of the death of Cardinal Avery Dulles: "We are saddened to learn of the death of Avery Cardinal Dulles. He was one of the great Catholic theologians of our time, and a man of deep and abiding faith in God. His final days were reminiscent of Pope John Paul II, who named him a Cardinal. While physical infirmities took away his ability to speak and move his arms, his extraordinary mind was as clear and incisive as ever, even as he went to his heavenly reward. In his farewell speech at Fordham earlier this year, he said, ‘If the Lord now calls me to a period of weakness, I know well that his power can be made perfect in infirmity. Blessed be the name of the Lord.’ Blessed be the soul of Avery Dulles. The Knights of Columbus will keep him and his family in our prayers.
