The Catholic Church and Freemasonry
by Rev. John McManus - May 26, 2009
HISTORICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND FREEMASONS…WHY ROMAN CATHOLICS ARE PROHIBITED BY THE CHURCH FROM BECOMING FREEMASONS
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gate City II for inviting me to speak with you tonight about a rather difficult topic, the historical relationship between the Catholic Church and Freemasons, and why Roman Catholics have been and continue to be prohibited by the Church from becoming Freemasons. My name is John McManus and in my civilian life I am an attorney who has been practicing law for just over 27 years. I am Roman Catholic Christian from birth, and since my ordination in 2002, I have been a member of the Roman Catholic Clergy as a Deacon, the lowest of the three levels of clerical hierarchy in the Catholic Church. Since 2007, I am also a Canon Lawyer, which means that I have a pontifical licentiate that allows me to practice as a lawyer in the Tribunals, or courts, of the Roman Catholic Church, and also to advise the Archbishop or others regarding canonical issues, or those issues related to the law of the Roman Catholic Church.
I have provided you with that personal background to let you know that my studies have been related to the Roman Catholic Church and its laws. I am not a Freemason, nor have I studied in any detail, other than for the preparation of this presentation, the laws, rules, creeds, or other constitutive documents of Freemasons. Nothing presented herein is intended to criticize, condemn or otherwise cast aspersions on either Freemasonry or Freemasons, as a group or to any individual Freemason, whether Roman Catholic or not. Instead, this presentation is intended to provide historical and current information on the subject matter that may be used in civil discussions and personal reflections about the issues presented in order that each person may be informed and form their own consciences about the issues presented.

The list of Protestants, Lutherans and Baptists would fill an entire library! What’s your point? Surely it isn’t just hypocrisy you are worried about.
Here’s a fact for you: Catholics have been Masons since the 18th Century (Priests, Bishops and even a few Cardinals). People generally do what they please. The Pope’s decrees against Freemasonry look good on paper, but the real world is much more nuanced. But they do so at the risk of excommunication. What are the consequences of Protestant clergy who join the Masons? None that I’m aware of. Moreover, Lodges usually have a chaplain, who is invariably a minister or reverend of some Protestant denomination. It’s only in places like corrupt Italy where Masonry is entangled with the Catholic church as well as the Mafia, that you could even conceivably have such an anomaly as a Catholic priest openly being the Lodge chaplain.

I heard once of a priest being a lodge chaplain..I think he did get in some trouble over the matter, though.
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Knew about the 74′ Seper Declaration and the 80′ Germans Bishops investigation. Wasn’t aware of the Scandanavian Bishops in 66′ or the ‘Lichtenau Declaration’ of 70′. The 1974 Cardinal Seper statement is the one usually cited for things going wonky. Suprised I hadn’t heard about 1966 or 1970 ones. Just goes to show you how little we know about what is going on inside the Catholic Church sometime. Quite convinced that Pope Paul VI of Vatican II fame was a Freemason now which probably means that the Freemasons have a lot of members inside the College of Cardinals.
The 1970 Declaration completely turns two centuries of Church Law on Freemasonry on it’s head. The sincerity of the 83′ Declaration by Ratzinger is suspect in my mind now as the 83′ Canon Law revision gutted the old Church Law on Freemasonry.
Ratzinger’s background with Rahner and Hans Kung is a real mind blower, go through the collection of links and stories. Who knows what to believe or think, that is the way Freemasonry operates - infiltration, deception and deceit.

I’m also just finishing off Terry’s book, it does a terrific job of showing exactly how involved Freemasons have been in politics. One other thing I could add is something that was recently reinforced to me after reading Tsoukalas’s book - that Freemasonry uses passages from the New Testament and Christian Hymns in Masonic Ritual with references to Jesus removed from it. There are many instances of this but very few give the Bible passage with it, you have to really know your bible to be aware where the sentence comes from. Tsoukalas is a Pastor as well as a Lecturer at a Bible College and was able to recognize this. He also picked up uses of Old Testament passages in Scottish Rite Ritual with odd changes in it such as removal of references to God’s Judgement. Again where this occurs in the Ritual it doesn’t say it comes from a chapter of the bible, you just have to know the bible really well to be able to pick up on this and then of course see what was changed and then interpret the significance of it. Basically the higher degrees of Freemasonry in the Scottish Rite teach resurrection without Judgement by God or Jesus. There is also a lot of strange stuff in A Bridge to Light about the secret plates of Enoch discovered beneath Solomons Temple which when reading passages from this teaching sound a little like the Angel Moroni plate legend of Mormonism.
These Catholic Priests and Protestant Pastors involved with Freemasonry must be aware of alot of this because of their superior knowledge of Biblical Script which makes their participation in a defacto denial of Jesus Christ much worse in my opinion. An arguement could be made that many of the inactive christians wouldn’t recognize the biblical passages that they participated in, what the full meaning of it was (although stating they were in a state of darkness during the initiation might have been a hint), but I can’t see any excuse for men who spent as much as 7 years in study (in the case of the catholic priesthood). It is really hard to understand how they can participate in this.
June 3rd, 2009 at 2:15 am
In the case of Protestant pastors maybe it is the need for ritual that attracts them.
I didn’t know that they had plagiarized from the Bible. I’m going to get Tsoukalas book and see what the evidence is.
I haven’t really delved that much into the content of the rituals for any secret society. It seems I have been remiss. It makes sense. It is the only sure way to identify exactly what it is they believe and promulgate. Quotations from prominent Masons can go a long way, but the real stuff can only be had in official rites and ceremonies.

FW,
I agree that there is some evidence Paul VI was a Freemason, and you’re completely correct that bizarre things are going on in the Vatican.
They participate in it because of simple unbelief and ignorance (with wilful infiltration and malice on the part of some), in my opinion. Unfortunately, Eastern Orthodoxy has had to deal with the same problems of Masonic infiltration, too.

I agree Jay, in fact I think I remember reading something that suggest old Rasputin himself was a Freemason. However I think the Orthodox Church is probably under quite a bit less Freemason influence than the Western Church today because of it’s isolation the past 60 or more years.
I really dislike making posts or suggestions about the heirarchy of the Church and Freemasonry but it reaches a point where you just can’t ignore the signs of it.
The Masonic sign use by some members of the Papal delegation during the Washington and Australia visits and the recognition and joke the EWTN panel made of it together with the equally bizarre incident of the 2007 Nativity Scene in St. Peter’s being set in Nazareth instead of Bethlehem are only two of the more recent incidents.

terry asserts that people have a “need for ritual”

While I do not claim to be an expert on religion, history, politics or theology, I know a little about the teachings of the Torah, Moses, Jesus and Paul. Their are good catholic people however the hierarchy of the Catholic church does everything opposite the teachings of Paul, from praying with their heads covered to telling priests not to marry and the ridiculous canonization of “saints” the list goes on. While he does have the position of Disciple Peter is not the cornerstone of anything. The government of the Catholic church itself is a sneer at God because only Jesus will install a government when he returns. The wheat and the chaff clearly are growing together. My point is God has purposes for all of us noble or not, the Catholic Church more than likely will crown the Anti-Christ just like it crowned Napoleon.

The still-unreleased 3rd secret of Fatima warned against Vatican II, the new “mass,” and evil churchmen. All 3 are responsible for the shrinking of the Catholic Church. The Vatican is no longer Catholic. True Catholics resist Vatican II and the novus ordo “mass.” Freemasons and many anti-Catholics have infiltrated the Vatican and the Church all over the world. The goal of Freemasonry is to destroy Christianity, namely the Catholic Church because they know the Catholic Church is The Church of Christ. But they will not succeed. Christ told us that the gates of Hell will not prevail over His Church. The Church may appear to be dead one day but will rise up as Christ did.

as a 18 year old girl that is religious by choice. my question and concern with the whole illuminati thing is false in my eyes it is hard to step into some panicy-box of conspiracy and lies…i might be religious but im not nieve. this is too much to me. this thing about every famous person that made an impact on the world as a whole whether in music or politics is either with illuminati or they are a freemasonary…i am not confused i am just pissed off that i can nolonger enjoy anything without some civilian telling me about the end is near and some other paranoid antics…in short if the illuminati is real and have been in existence sense time before, what made “them” want to uproot a world of worry and panic…why show up now…isn’t it bad enough that people are guilble enough to believe that the world will end in 2012?

Novus Order missie is a substitute mass for the Mass of all time ie Traditional Tridentine Latin Mass,why ? because it doesn’t restrain Satan the way the T.T.L.Mass does.!!
Are we to believe the Masons found in the Church are there as agents of Christ??( alta vandetta - Pope Leo xiii)

I am a catholic and a Freemason i smile, sometimes shake my head, and most often am shocked and annoyed at anti- mason dialogue I have been a freemason for 30years and i have never heard any ideas of concern about the craft destroying the catholic church or the Vatican and any other faith I’ve sat as Master of the Lodge, freemasonry is fraternal if the tenets of freemasonrywere observed we would be sleeping with our doors open . In my experience i have seen Jew embrace Muslim, and recently a Brother Turk present a gift to a Greek at an installation, Masons all.Like many large organizations we have some undesirables and eventually they are cast out. The conspirators love to pick on the Masons due to our so called secrets.When i pray i pray to Jesus Christ, and Mary. When the time comes that i meet our savior Jesus and the Book Of Life is opened and all that is there is I was Freemason i will expect The Lord to say well done good and faithful servant enter thou into the joy of thou Lord.

The Novus Ordo Missae was concocted during Vatican II, during the 1960s and at least 3 non-Catholic authorities were responsible for assisting at its Demoniacal birth. Yes, I and my late Dad hated the New Mass, while my Mum and paternal Nan, loved it. I have raised my daughter (now 24), with Traditional Values and we assist when we can, due to ill health, as we have to travel up to 50 miles but we’d rather do that, when possible, than go 10 minutes into town, to the Catholic Cathedral, where I grew up and was married from. It’s only curiosity, that would get me to peek in there, to see what further damage has been done. The main altar was brought forward from the sanctuary wall to be replaced by the Bishops Throne, before replaced by a stone slab across two stone pillars, reminiscent of Stonehenge, Wiltshire, in the early 1960s, then ripped the beautiful gilded angel altar rails out in 1982/3, by the 1990s, the Sanctuary Lamp had disappeared and don’t get me started on Altar Servers, male and female.
The Novus Ordo will not bring anyone to God, more like the other fella, Satan, who never does a better job of anything, than when he convinces people, that he doesn’t exist.

I am truly confused. I am catholic and have been a teacher of the faith for many years, having grown up in both the pre and post Vatican II era. For years, I have been approached and while not solicited, have been enthusiastically welcomed to petition Freemasonry for membership on mumerous occasions. For the life of me (no pun intended), I cannot understand why I have been approached so many times and have even been told that I, “would be good at it” by a high ranking member of a Masonic rite. When I research Freemasonry, I find many many teachings and opinions that strongly oppose it; however, most of this opposition comes from protestant sources, which are anti-catholic, thus, by my observation, sources which are in opposition to traditional Christianity. I am of a Jewish blood line that produced many generations of faithful catholics. Wishing to be a better person and to pursue elevation as an individual, I have petitioned the local lodge and await a response. My plan is to enter with eyes spiritually open and hope for the guidance of God as I either walk through this valley or climb this mountain. I seek and welcome guidance.

Freemasonry practically equals Protestantism, and Universalism in particular. The Catholic hierarchy, however, has been officially opposed to Freemasonry since the 1730s when its spread throughout Europe became apparent. You’re thinking’s a bit off by expecting to nonchalantly just join Freemasonry and still consider yourself Catholic and “teacher of the faith.” The Masons will take you, sure, but you can and will certainly be ostracised by Catholicism-proper.

why cant abortionists be charged for crimes against humanity? why cant politicians who legislate in favor of abortion be charged for crimes against humanity? isnt there something fundamentally wrong with the laws which govern the land in which we live? is freemasonry a factor in everything.

Why do you guys assume that about the religion? God had said to not talk bad about other religions. What you guys are saying is bad. God doesn’t like that. Plus many miracles has happened in my religion. If some stuff had happened in the past that was bad, it’s not happening again and etc.
Plus some stuff had happened thru out the years and was added, okay? It’s fine that you stick to your OWN opinion about a religion you don’t really follow, but it’s bad enough when you start talking bad about other people’s religion.

I have been a practicing mason for 36 years and all of a sudden I’m to be excommunicated if I do not abject to all degrees taken. I have not seen or been involved in any teachings against the Caholic Church. I have never heard anything discussed agains the Catholic Church. I approached my priest in 1976 and inquired about joining the masons beore joining. I did not get any derogatory information so I joined. Where did I go wrong??
