The only problem I see is with this is the conflict. In the late 1800ās Daniel Carter Beard who was a Mason and Lord Robert Baden-Powell of Great Britain who was not a Mason, founded a male youth program called the āSociety of the Sons of Daniel Boone.ā By 1905, the program had become āThe Boy Pioneers.ā. In 1910, Daniel Carter Beard and Lord Robert Baden-Powell of Great Britain founded the āBoy Scouts of Americaā and became its first National Commissioner.
Ho I like the wonderful debates on this forum. May God bless all here.
Point being?
He just tells them the truth ā something they usually donāt get a lot of.
Heās not, so stop worrying.
The Popeās white cassock comes from the time of Pope St. Pius V. He was a Dominican, whose habit is white, and he continued to wear his Dominican habit while Pope ā and future Popeās continued wearing white. And in many respects, yes the Pope is the boss ā but he also has his Boss!
I wouldnāt take anything Dan Brown or his ilk writes as truthful.
I agree with that!
I agree Dan Brown and the like can not be taken as truthful, but they sure do make for good table talk and a good laugh at the rediculose nature of it all.
I have a friend whose grandfather is a mason, and his grandfather reach 33rd degree,w/c my friend said that if a mason reach that degree will spit, saying blasphemy,desecrating and stomping over the cross.And my friend has a bluebook of a masonry w/c contains ritual and other rites of the masonic lodges.Here in Philippines,there is a masonic church w/c they claim that they are true christian church.And they are called church of christ or āiglesia ni cristoā.for over 50 years in the Philippines, they are trying to destroy the catholic church by preaching false teachings,misinterpreting the bible, and trying to put some propaganda to the people that the catholic church is a apostate church.

I think the whole way the world thinks now has been infected with liberalism that is spoken about by Pope Leo XIII in encyclicals against freemasonry. We are taught throughout our lives that the freedom and liberties associated with this country are the best and only way to be. But all of these ideas are what the church stood against in the days that the encyclical was written. The ideals have taken over just as was predicted. We have been taught that our free-will is so much more important than anything else. But we canāt even fathom the thought of going against the ideals which according to the Pope back then are wrong. The world has been brainwashed just as Leo warned against. And most probably, as a result, a lot of souls may have been lost. Even alot of conservative ideals argued for by catholic conservatives(especially the ones regarding our freemason based constitution) would have been considered LIBERAL to Pope Leo. The ideals have put country over church to many, many people, which is what the masonās wanted and what the church did not want. The instilment in our minds that we can freely do whatever we please and believe whatever we want has totally undermined the church teachings. We can look wherever we want to believe in whatever we want is a treasured ideal to most, but imagine how many souls have gone astray by that treasured belief. People seem to look back on the āevilā popes and think"Is that what you want?"----- My current thinking may be headed towards thoughts like. "well even if the Popes killed a bunch of peopleā¦well, only the popes guilty souls would probably be hellbound and minimal other souls would be responsible for their actions if the hypothetical evil pope led them astray. But with the Freemason ideal of freewill is king look how many souls must be suffering in purgatory at the very minimum and probably alot have gone to hell. These are some thoughts and opinions that Iāve been having as of late. The freemasons have succeeded in spreading the belief that you can believe whatever you want and I think it has caused the terrible damage that the earlier popes warned of. We have been taught by America that it is wrong to believe that Catholiscim is the only true teaching from God because of the whole freedom of religion philosophy. Iām curious as to more current teachings from the popes, since Leo XIII, as far as how great these freedoms and liberties so cherished throughout the world are considered by them. And Iād be interested in their reasons for the change in stance, if it be the case. I havenāt looked into the stuff of the last sentence yet but if anyone has any links to examples I would like to read them.
The Current teachings of the popes have not changed. They are not as upfront with the declaration though. The declarations are not as public. There were several earlier in the thread but I will see if I or someone can find them.
Here we go again for the umpteenth time. Whoever wants to argue against the Church, the Pope, our Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Faith, keep posting, but you canāt get around NO means NO, so do yourself a favor anyone that attached to Masonry, just join another Church that will allow it. You can see from the pro-Masonry threads just how important The Lodge is and the strength used to defend it (after all Rome must be wrong, not my brothers). Look if Lodge is that important what are any Catholic masons doing here in arguing for disobeying the Church? Youāre advertising for grave sin. (O.K so this doesnāt bother you, fine). I can see Protestants coming by and laughing but some here are presenting themselves as Catholic Masons which, with all due respect, is to be an oxymoron.
And hereafter an example of how Freemasonry can force the Head of the Anglican Church Worldwide communion to backpedal under pressure even though he maintains that he still has problems with Freemasonry in the Anglican Church. Go figure, the head of a Church having to backtrack on his Christian beliefs under Masonic backlash. Of course, he did not want to have to backtrack. Thank God Catholics holding firm.
