ATLANTA — Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore acknowledged Wednesday that the U.S. bishops’ “fortnight for freedom” campaign has come under heavy criticism in the secular media, in the blogosphere and by some Catholics as being a partisan political effort. …

At a news conference following the afternoon session, Lori said the bishops’ religious liberty campaign was funded by the Knights of Columbus, the Knights of Malta, Our Sunday Visitor and “many other groups as well.”

“[The Knights of Columbus] have been generous to a whole variety of causes including this one,” he said.
