Here’s a thread about Freemasonry. I hope it can help some of you figure out what it is and why it’s evil.

What is Freemasonry?

Freemasonry, the teachings and practices of the secret fraternal order of Free and Accepted Masons, the largest worldwide secret society.

Freemasonry evolved from the guilds of stonemasons and cathedral builders of the Middle Ages. With the decline of cathedral building, some lodges of working masons began to accept honorary members to bolster their declining membership.

A few of these lodges developed into modern Freemasonry, which particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries adopted the rites and trappings of ancient religious orders and of chivalric brotherhoods. In 1717 the first Grand Lodge was founded in England.

many Catholics were Freemasons. The English Catholic and Jacobite diaspora was crucial to spreading Freemasonry to continental Europe. At one point it was so popular among Catholics in some places that Francis I of Austria served as a formal patron.

And yet the Church became the greatest foe of the Masonic lodges. Between Clement XII in 1738 and the promulgation of the first Code of Canon Law in 1917, a total of eight popes wrote explicit condemnations of Freemasonry. The penalty for being a Mason was excommunication.

What Clement XII described in his original denunciation was not a revolutionary republican society but a group spreading and enforcing religious indifferentism: the belief that all religions are of equal worth.

These are the wicked oaths that Masons take when being initiated into the organization.

These are blasphemies that are being sworn while people lay their hand on the Holy Scriptures.

These penalties have been carried out in the past.

A New Yorker, William Morgan planned to write an exposé on Freemasonry. Morgan was a former Mason. In 1826 Morgan went missing after being excessively harassed by Freemasons.

Due to their Masonic connections, all the Masons implicated in Morgan’s Murder received lenient sentences, ranging from 1 month to 2 years.

They had gotten away with murder.

While the Masonic rites themselves contain considerable material which can be called heretical, and is in some instances explicitly anti-Catholic, the Church has always been far more concerned with the overarching philosophical content of Freemasonry.

Masonry is a parallel religion to Christianity. The New Catholic Encyclopedia states, “Freemasonry displays all the elements of religion, and as such it becomes a rival to the religion of the Gospel.”

Masonry played a critical role in most of the revolutions of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. And in many nations these revolutions have been explicitly anti-Catholic.

The French Revolution

• The Jesuit Augustin Barruel wrote that Freemasons had actively prepared the 1789 revolution

• A key revolutionary leader was the Duke of Orleans, grand master of the Grand Orient Lodge of Freemasons

• The Jacobin Club, which was the radical nucleus of the French revolutionary movement, was founded by prominent Freemasons

• Many of France’s radicals following the revolution were also Masons. Socialists ordered Masonic banners be put on the ramparts of the Paris Commune.

I would like to debunk the idea that the Jesuits and Masons are in cahoots.

Historically, They’ve had 2 radically different goals.

The Jesuits want to spread Catholicism as far as possible. The Masons want to spread religious indifferentism as far as possible.

Masons have been heavily involved in the revolutions of South America, The Cristero Wars, Italian Unification, and the overthrow of the Portuguese Monarchy. I’m gonna assume many of you on the dissident right are not happy with the way these conflicts ended.

Historically, one of Masonry’s primary objectives has been the destruction of the Catholic Church; this is especially true of Freemasonry as it has existed in certain European countries. Even though it may now seem like little more than a social club for boomers.

“All is well, thank God... but victory will not be complete, definitive or stable, as long as Masonry is in our Spain. And how will it disappear? What to do? Ask Mussolini.”

— Generalísimo Francisco Franco

Our Lady of Good Success even warmed us about the dangers of Masonry in 1610!

Long before the Masons had impacted society.

The Freemason Albert Pike referred to the Papacy as "a deadly, treacherous enemy," and wrote, "The papacy has been for a thousand years the torturer and curse of humanity, the most shameless imposture, in its pretense to spiritual power of all ages.”

The Masons have succeeded in spreading their hostile religion. Nowadays everyone thinks like a Mason! Everyone thinks that it doesn’t matter what you believe in.

Religious indifferentism is now mainstream!

If you want to join a fraternity that isn’t evil consider the Knights of Columbus.

In conclusion, Freemasonry is subversive and evil. Simple as.
