Lies? No proof? How about this taken directly from the Grand Lodge of Texas
website …
It would seem that the symbolical wearing of aprons by Freemasons in imitation of operative masons would require little explanation, as the workman wore the apron as a protective covering. However, the modern Masonic apron is a white lambskin apron, which adds two specific qualities. First, the color white is a ritualistic development to represent purity and, second, the lambskin material is emblematical of innocence. No better explanation of the Masonic apron can be found than that provided in the Apron presentation to the new Mason. It is quoted here as presented in the Monitor of the Lodge published by the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas.
*My brother, in behalf of this Lodge, I now present to you this white Lambskin Apron. It may be, that in the coming years, upon your brow shall rest the laurel leaves of victory; it may be that, pendant from your breast, may hang jewels fit to grace the diadem of some Eastern potentate.
Aye! More than these, for light, added to coming light, may enable your ambitious feet to tread round after round of the ladder that leads to fame in our Mystic order; and even the purple of our fraternity may rest upon your honored shoulders; but never again, from mortal hands; never again, until your enfranchised spirit shall have passed upward and inward, through the pearly gates, can a greater honor be bestowed, or one more emblematical of purity and innocence, than that which has been conferred upon you tonight.
This Apron, the special gift of this Lodge, is yours to wear upon all proper occasions throughout an honorable life, and at your death, is to be placed upon the coffin that contains your lifeless remains and with them shall be laid beneath the silent clods of the valley.
May the pure and spotless surface of this Apron be an ever-present reminder of “that purity of heart and uprightness of conduct so essentially necessary,” thus keeping pure your thoughts, and inspiring nobler deeds and greater achievements.
Then, when at last, your weary feet shall have come to the end of life’s toilsome journey, and from your nerveless grasp, shall drop, forever, the working tools of life, may the record of your life and actions be as pure and spotless as this Apron now is; and when your soul, freed from earth, shall stand naked and alone before the Great White Throne, may it be your portion to hear from Him who sits thereon, the welcome plaudit: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant! Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord!”*
… Satan has the Masons by the throat. Read the highlighted sentence again, and think about it. Where have you heard the term “Great White Throne” before?
Rev 20:11 And I saw a
great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The Great White Throne is found at the judgment of the damned. Anyone who stands naked in that dreadful courtroom will have only one exit, and that is through the gaping maw of hell. Pity the poor Mason who trusted a “pure and spotless” lambskin apron rather than the sacrifice of the pure and spotless Lamb of God. The words that NO ONE at the great white throne will hear are, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant! Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord!”
What a hideous deception!

… Perhaps Sir Knight is indeed a respected contributor to the forum but in this case he’s simply wrong …
Look at the above quote from the Mason’s own website and tell us who’s wrong now? Want more proof? How about this quote by Pope Pius VIII when making reference to Masons: “* … Their Law is Untruth: Their God is the Devil and their Cult is Turpitude … *” taken from a Bio of his works – which can be found in printed format at larger libraries.
When a Pope publicly states that their god is the devil – that pretty powerful stuff.
Finally,
here’s more information which will leave little doubt how satanic and anti-Catholic the Masonic Sect really is.
Maybe I misquoted, sorry
