Press Release Summary: Kevin Goodman was once benchmarked for leadership in an
international organization that claims as members some of Europes most prominent
noble and royal families. Surrendering vanity Kevin shares his story of failing
virtues, European Bluebloods, and unscrupulous Americans who seek the ultimate
vanity.

Press Release Body: Kevin D Goodman, Executive for Sundown MC has formally renounced
an honor that many believe is an ancient Knighthood. The Order of St. Lazarus has
many ardent and prominent supporters from Roman Catholic Cardinal Bishops, the
Archbishop of Canterbury, British Peers, and Spanish and French Royals and yet Kevin
asserts the Order is False. Kevin had been invested as an officer in the order at
Gozo Cathedral in Malta, in spring of 2007. For a time Kevin was benchmarked for
American leadership as the numerous email correspondences with Malta's Chancellor
testify.

Kevin pledged to support the Orders democratized branch the 'United Grand Priories'.
Kevin was also promised the recognition of an American commandery and then priory
after achieving a certain membership. Kevin had also been requested to draw plans
for an academic based honor society that would be sponsored by the order. A plan
Kevin proposed that was positively encouraged by the Maltese chancellor. Thus the
assumption was that Kevin was benchmarked for 'high' rank in the international
order.

Kevin grew weary after communications were strained. After conducting some private
research Kevin began doubting the leadership of the Order and the Legitimacy of the
Order in whole. The order of Saint Lazarus has been controversial for a hundred
years now. It is currently in a state of turmoil and divided between three main
branches that are generally recognized as being legitimate. Despite having earned
significant praise for charity the Sovereign Military Order of Malta asserts the
real order of Saint Lazarus disappeared long ago. Kevin contacted the Vatican's
Diplomat to the US and was asserted by his holiness the Apostolic Nuncio that the
Vatican maintains an assertion that the Order of St. Lazarus is a false Order.

Kevin says he really became disillusioned with the 'So-called chivalric order' after
contacting representatives from other branches. "There was an absolute bitterness,
these people behaved exactly opposite as the virtues of chivalry dictate". Kevin
goes on to say that a particular splinter group "manifested the worst kind of
snobbery". "That was the turning point and it only got worst". After Kevin
communicated his prowling to superiors he was sharply warned "It was clear that they
expected absolute obedience". "That evidently included me not doing private research
- call that cultic?"

Kevin continued to send updates to the Nuncio and furthered his communications with
a splinter group led by French Royalist. "There was a point when I awoke from my
disillusionment." "I communicated my resignation to the Nuncio and was praised by
his assistant." "They assured me my observations are noted and forwarded". Kevin
doesn't know how an organization can meet disapproval by Rome and be led by cardinal
bishops but speculates it tolerates the Order based on the power of its membership.
"The order of Saint Lazarus has been very successful at recruiting those who are
very prominent." Kevin goes on to state that he believes the Order is the most
accomplished hoax in a hundred years, a view seemingly shared by the Vatican.

Kevin continues "there is nothing chivalric or romantic about the constant
infighting within the organization". A "knighthood is supposed to be based on
virtues but for the order of St. Lazarus virtue is scoured by vanity in a strive for
supremacy and legitimacy." "Those old men who claim the order of St. Lazarus are
likely going to die without honor and befall a memory counter to the one they
sought." Kevin offers a stern warning for those considering pledging to any group
called the 'Order of St. Lazarus'. "There are chivalric organizations out there that
are not controversial and are free to do good works rather than spend so much energy
justifying their actions." Kevin recommends that anybody considering membership in
the Order of St. Lazarus contact and get the advice of the Sovereign Military Order
of Malta or the Venerable Order of St. John.
