Freemasonry is no joking matter. While hardly visible in the US, they have a somewhat more visible presence in other countries, especially to Arab Catholics. My mother was taught at a young age of their wickedness and evil, and their satanism. In certain appiritions in the Iraqi area of Mary and her work and the saints, freemasons have been understood to be enemies of the Church. While the englightenment is indeed their foundation, the englightenment was a call to secularism and from alal secularism is this form of Greek paganism minus the myths and gods, but definatly keeping the worship of the state. And from all paganism is this root in satanism. Higher order freemasons are generally believed to be satanists and it is very possible. Then again, very little is known about these men. However, in Catholic schools throughout the Iraq area the ideas that freemasons were satanists was taught, and the people feared them. Don't blow them off as a joke; the popes who wrote against them had very good reasons to do so.

God bless,

We do! We do!"

The higher esoteric levels of Freemasonry are truly Satanic.

The lower degrees of Freemasonry are dangerous for a different reason. This level of Freemasonry (which covers most of it's membership) appears as a benevolent organization which stands for positive sounding ideals like "brotherhood," "liberty," and the like. This is surface rhetoric. What freemasonry really stands for is a philosophy called [i]Naturalism[/i], which is subtle in it's dangers to those who don't study philosophy or aren't well catechized Catholics.

Naturalism, as a philosophy rejects the divine. It does not acknowledge a transcendent God. It sees nature as the fundamental source of all that exists.

Freemasonry may recognize Christ as a great teacher or a "nice guy," but it does not acknowledge Christ as divine. This is a very important distinction which many people are not aware of. They see many Masons who appear to be good "Christians" and figure that Masonry must not be that bad.

Masonry truly is the enemy of the Kingship of Christ. Catholics believe that God is the Creator and as our Creator He is the highest authority. Catholics are obligated to work in society to bring society into conformity with God's natural law under His authority.

Freemasons believe that nature is the source of all things and that there is no authority above man; that man is free to make his own law. We can see how well this system of thought works with the advent of legalized abortion. Is this the law of God or man?

Because the Catholic Church represents Christ, who is the highest authority, and seeks to promote the Kingship of Christ on earth, Freemasonry since it's beginning has viewed the Catholic church as tyrannical and sought to destroy it.

W. is very much a mason and one of the worst at that. He is a skull and bone. Just try and so some research including Yale University and W. Here is a link with some actual names.

I don't think anybody here is pushing for Saint George W. Bush. Political power and submission to God's will do not often coexist. I would postulate that it is impossible to attain the Presidency without sacrificing key values that are central to your faith.

Who's a mason?

[AngelofJesus]

Not I.

A very good Catholic source of information on Freemasonry and the antipathy between Judeo-Masonry and the Catholic church is, "Papacy and Freemasonry" by Monseigneur Jouin. It is available on the web.
