Eric Sammons says Knights of Columbus men "can form the backbone of a revitalized society." That one word, "can," sparked a civil back-and-forth on X between Majorian and Peter Sammons. Tonight Anthony and Rob bring both of them on to take up the question, along with a new Command Media article, "The Fall of the KofC Shield."

The Knights were founded as a Catholic brotherhood. So why aren't young men joining? We'll hear both sides:

• Should the Knights be judged by what they actually are today, or by what they could become?
• Is Majorian right that the KofC has become "a boomer social club that sells insurance"?
• Or is Peter right that Eric's "can" is a call to restore and reinvigorate the order, not a description of what it already is?
• Why have so many young Catholic men walked away from the Church's largest fraternal organization?
• What would a real reform of the Knights even look like?
