Workingman,
Thank you for your post. I was hoping to explain a few points and ask for more info on others.
The problem that started it was when the freemasons protested I believe it was in St. Peters square. They wanted to tear down the church then.
I’ve heard this story before and admit to not knowing it fully. I think it had something to do with St. Maximilian Kolbe.
I find it hard to believe that any group of Freemasons perform such activities via as Freemasons. I do not doubt that there are Freemasons that do not agree with the Church, but I seriously doubt such a protest would come from or be organized as part of a lodge. Freemasons do not discuss politics or religion in a lodge.
There are other organizations that call themselves Freemasons but are not recognized as other Freemasons as such. The P2 lodge in Rome comes to mind. However, Freemasonry being blamed for the acts of a rogue, unrecognized lodge is like blaming the Roman Catholic Church for something the Anglican did.
I will do some research and see if I can find a date. Also Albert Pike who I one of the founders of freemasonry as it is known to day has maid it very plain that he wanted to destroy the church and that Lucifer is the god of the freemasons.
Freemasonry has nothing whatsoever to do with destroying the Church or promoting Satan.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer
n Latin, the word “Lucifer”, meaning “Light-Bringer” (from lux, lucis, “light”, and ferre, “to bear, bring”), is a name for the “Morning Star” (the planet Venus in its dawn appearances).[2] The Latin Vulgate version of the Bible used this word twice to refer to the Morning Star: once in 2 Peter 1:19 to translate the Greek word “Φωσφόρος” (Phosphoros),[3] which has exactly the same literal meaning of “Light-Bringer” that “Lucifer” has in Latin; and once in Isaiah 14:12 to translate “הילל” (Hêlēl), which also means “Morning Star”. In the latter passage the title of “Morning Star” is given to the tyrannous Babylonian king, who the prophet says is destined to fall. This passage was later applied to the prince of the demons, and so the name “Lucifer” came to be used for Satan, and was popularized in works such as Dante Alighieri’s Inferno and John Milton’s Paradise Lost, but for English speakers the greatest influence has been its use in the King James Version (more modern English versions translate the term as “Morning Star” or “Day Star”).

There also as one obtains more light in masonry several pagan gods mentioned in patrial names combined together.
I haven’t heard of this before and would like to know more.
I have seen this evidence presented. It may take some time to dig it up again.
Also the upper eshilons there is evidence of a black mass.
What’s a black mass?
I don’t think the Church will change positions any time soon.

Thank God.
I agree with you and don’t think the Church will change her position anytime soon, but I don’t think it’s for the above reasons.
Thank you for reading my post.
