A friend at work is about to join this non-denominational order. I wasn’t asked but I did mentioned that as I Catholic I didn’t think I could ever join such an organization since I figured I was similar to joining the Masonic Lodge.
She assured me that they are in no way connected to the Masons and they have plenty of Catholic members and she even has a Catholic priest in her priory. (When she mentioned his name I wasn’t surprise but wondered if she was supposed to mention names.)
Has anyone heard of this order and would it be permissible for a Catholic to join.
I’m not interested in joining I was just curious.

Hmm…I thought there’s one that restarted in the Catholic Church.

Aside from the question of what this group is doing that other groups are not doing, I would not have the time. My job, my 3 spoiled-rotten cats, my AA activites, my daily prayers…what spare time?:rolleyes:
