Pope said there is conspiracy amung Freemasons, against the Church

First of all, they are punishments, but they are designed so that the sinner may repent.

It says the negative judgment is unchanged. They judged them to be excommunicated for 200 years. It hasn’t changed.

Excommunication can be either latae sententiae (automatic, incurred at the moment of committing the offense for which canon law imposes that penalty) or ferendae sententiae (incurred only when imposed by a legitimate superior or declared as the sentence of an ecclesiastical court).[3] from Wikipeida

Please explain why the letter stated “…may not receive Holy Communion.” and not “…are excommunicated.”

So why does one become a Freemason?

Why does a Catholic become one? Either they don’t know they shouldn’t or they don’t care.

Here, Pope Leo 13 has a nice encyclical stating that freemasonry s a collection of all evil tied together in a dark conspiracy against God and the Church, in a grand revolution.

As a Mason, I give Leo a pass - continental European Masonry can be just darn nuts. Really nuts.

A notable example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due

Masonry in the US, England and the commonwealth is a bunch of old guys doing baroque morality plays, and giving to charity,

And it’s true that every once in a while a Mason will invent a religion based off the Masonic rituals. A Mr. Joseph Smith did that a few years ago.

So yeah… Some Masons are really really messed up. Some are good blokes.

The summary: Liberalism is incompatible with Catholicism.

Now we know why Catholics can’t be Freemasons.
