Unfortunately, I (and maybe lotsa other folks) have come to view the Vatican as depraved and perverted over the last few years. I wouldn't do the opposite of what the so-called "pope" instructs without thinking, but I sure don't believe that this creep is a man of God. quite the opposite, IMO. Ditto

Amazes me to see the Catholics call freemasonry a cult. They believe and do a whole bunch of shìt thats not in the Bible and a bunch more that the Bible says not to do. Pray to the dead, ask men for forgiveness, hail Mary's, worship Mary, etc... And they have an empire of monetary riches like no other.

My father was a 32nd degree Mason, Scottish Rite, Jester and Legion of Honor! He always said the Knights of Columbus was a cheap imitation of the Masons!

The Pope should work on his own mess first...
Matthew 7:3-5
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Just about the only thing in which Catholicism and I are in agreement The Catholic Church has had this right from the start. PS The reason the Catholic Church started The Knights of Columbus was to minimize the temptation for Catholic men to join Freemasonry. The idea was that this was a men's club that gave a similar kind of benefit to its members, but without all the problems associated with Freemasonry. I know 2 men that belong to both organizations one of which is a District Attorney. The institutional Catholic Church went bad after Vatican II.

Since Catholicism is a doctrine of works and not Grace who cares That's stretching the Biblical definition of works. It's only works if works includes understanding the basics of Christianity, being a member of the Church (in some sort of way), accepting Christ, and being sorry for one's sins. I'm not sure that's what the New Testament authors meant by works, but I could be wrong.

In this bull, Clement commented on the secrecy of Masonic lodges and the “host of grievous punishment” received when violating the oath of secrecy. The bull did not delve into many specific objections to Masonic practices but concluded, based on “certain knowledge and mature deliberations,” that “all prudent and upright men have passed the same judgment on them as being depraved and perverted.” You could literally switch "Masonic" and replace it with "Roman Catholic priesthood" and it would still be true.

The idea was that this was a men's club that gave a similar kind of benefit to its members, but without all the problems associated with Freemasonry. This is generally correct The Knights of Columbus began as a men’s group in New Haven CT Link: https://www.kofc.org/en/who-we-are/our-history/founding-and-early-acts.htmlThe big difference is the Knights of Columbus have bars in them. Masons don’t.

The ban on Freemasonry goes way back.
The primary reason is “Indifferentism” (belief in any god is approved for Freemasonry).
Pope Francis is actually quite conservative, the press just reports what they want to hear.
One of the MSM’s big lies is “Who am I to judge” when he was speaking about homosexuality.
That is accurate as far as it goes. The church does not judges souls. The Church judge’s actions. Thus, homosexual acts are prohibited.
The Church is required by Christ to bring sinners to Christ. But the MSM never reports the “repent and believe in the gospel” part.
Pope Francis is currently telling some German Bishops that they cannot bless a homosexual unions.
BMT Sounds like Plan Trusting. C anon? The Papist are in control.

I am a Master Mason and will freely admit there were things said and done in my 1st, 2nd and 3rd that I didn't like or agree with.

That is evident when ever a religion thread pops up on the 24HCF.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
