Is it true that the Messiaonic lodge used to some what work for the catholic church.?

Question

I herd that a long time ago the mesionic lodge used to be group to keep track of all the moneys and some what of the motor of the catholic church. Then one day the (catholic) church found out that the lodge stole or some what imbezeled money & kinda fired them. Then I herd that they (the lodge) went to the mormons and now work for them. Now I herd that the catholic Church uses the Knights of Columbus.


Is this true or is it all Hog Wash?.

Answer 1

I'm assuming you are referring to the Masonic lodge, rather than Messiaonic- messiah being something completely different than a mason. The Masonic lodge was never an official part of the Catholic Church, nor did it keep track of the money or anything else. The Knights of Columbus is a social/service organization for Catholic men. While both organizations have closed meetings for members only, are composed of men only, and do a large amount of public service- they are not the same thing. And a practicing Catholic male doesn't join the Masons, as it is forbidden by the Church.
What you are repeating is a malicious rumor, designed to do nothing by spread distrust, hate and suspicion. It has no basis in fact. Although I am sure there are bad examples to be found in both groups, on the whole I think you would find more members worth respect and admiration than you would otherwise. Both groups do many good works, often without public recognition and awareness. These sorts of rumors are spread by the people who do not know better and do not wish to know better. I'm glad to see you had the thought to ask before repeating it. And now you know it for the hogwash you originally suspected it to be.

Answer 2

All that is false.
The Masons (Freemasons) have always been trying to undermine and bring down the Catholic Church.
I think it is having a field day now since they had a part in bringing in modernism and humanism into the Church by way of the Mass, which is the central part of Catholic belief.

Masons have infiltrated the Church and their soul purpose is to destroy it.
It won't happen because Chist said about the Chruch he established: "The gates of hell will not prevail against it."

Answer 3

I hold no love for any of them-- but that is just a bunch of junk and untrue.
