To whoever feels they can address this, I recently decided to research the Catholic Church, Christianity in general, and how they all relate to the fraternity of the Freemasons. What I discovered is that a lot of people believe that this fraternity is actually worshipping Lucifer or Satan, and that they conjure up demons or something.
What I found in my research is the name of one French writer by the name of Léo Taxil, which was really a pen name; his real name was Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès. The story goes that this man was quite an obnoxious writer, in the sense that he would write very lewd and pornographic material and terrible mockeries towards organized religion; the Catholic Church in particular. It seems that in 1885, he converted to Catholicism and at the same time seeker admission to a Masonic Lodge in France. Here’s where it gets interesting…
He either leaves or is thrown out of the Lodge after only a year, after only receiving the First Degree of it (I guess there are 3 of them), and proceeds to write books and pamphlets revealing the secrets of Freemasonry; that they engage in demon conjuring, devil worship, or the claim that he had managed to help a woman escape the Lodge who had been made a sex slave of demons, and who had been forced to have a demon inscribe blasphemies on her back with its tail.
This is, by the way, the very same man that Pope Leo XIII met with and issued his condemnation against Freemasonry; based on these exposé thereof.
It gets more interesting…
On the evening of April 19, 1897, this man calls a press conference in Paris to produce this very woman. Instead, he admits to the entire exposé of being an elaborate hoax, and that the woman in question (Diana Vaughan) to have been merely the name of a typist that worked for him. The story of this confession, I found, was published on April 25, 1897 in the newspaper “Le Frondeur”, and even caught the attention of America’s own “Boston Sunday Post”.
This makes me start to wonder, now…is the Church’s opposition to Freemasonry truly based on irreconcilable differences in principle and teaching, or has the Church allowed themselves to sadly fall victim to a charlatan?
