Why is it that Catholic's have such a problem with Free Mason's?

Answer 1

The Catholics are jealous of the Free Masons. Case in point, there was a legal action brought against the Free Masons by Catholics. They complained the money collected by Free Masons belongs to the Catholic Church. I heard the judge laughed at the legal action.

Answer 3

at present, black or white, in reaction to what is going on maximum suitable. I used to regulate to get knickers to examine the colour of what i replaced into as quickly as wearing besides the undeniable fact that crimson, yellow, orange, green and brown ones are tough to return via potential of this modern. i got here across it relatively complicated to stop that 'matching' addiction. Cotton is substantial, common. As for that diverse merchandise of female undies, I hate it lots that I do without each and every time i will yet once I are no longer in a position to it relatively is black or white and cotton-prosperous (why are no longer in a position to i'm getting a hundred% cotton?) and so common as common can be and unwired. Hmmm, i've got self belief this in line with danger too much awareness. yet I enjoyed the little rant.

Answer 4

Not just Catholics, but most bible believing Christians have problems with Free Masonry. Free Masonry contradicts the teachings of the bible.

Primarily it states that it is loyal to all faiths. Christianity states that there is only ONE way and that is through following Jesus and his teachings.

It is full of secrets and blood oaths. The bible teaches that both are wrong for a Christian.

At the 33rd degree a mason is initiated into a luciferian rite. This includes drinking blood from a human skull.

I can go on and on. Read for yourself.

FREEMASONRY IN A NUTSHELL
A Christian frequently must render a decision about supporting or joining various organizations that exist in the community. In some cases it may be a service club, a charitable organization or a secret society such as one of the lodges. In all cases, the Christian should carefully examine the articles or constitutional principles that the organization is based upon.
In the case of the lodges, that is somewhat difficult to do, especially as lodge members are under oath not to divulge the nature of the foundational principles or the ceremonies that are carried out in the temples. However most comprehensive public libraries have copies of some official lodge publications and books written by Masons, ex-Masons, and non-Masons available for anyone who wishes to find out details of lodge rituals and beliefs.
While some Masons deny that Freemasonry is a religion, there are some like Coil, the author of "Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia" who would agree that it is a religion. When one considers that the lodge meeting places are called "temples", prayer is directed to a supreme deity called "The Great (or Grand) Architect of the Universe" at the opening and closing of all meetings and the Bible is considered a "piece" of lodge furniture and is referred to in some of the rituals, it becomes quite apparent that Freemasonry can be and is considered a religion by most people who have done research into its workings.
In his 1984 book titled "The Brotherhood", Stephen Knight, a journalist and author attempted to take as objective a point-of-view as he could in deciding whether or not Masonry was guilty of devil worship as many had charged, and whether or not it was compatible with Christianity. He decided that the matter did not require a great deal of knowledge of theology. On page 231 of his book we find:
"One does not have to be a theologian - nor even a Freemason or a Christian - to recognize that Christians and Freemasons would have to worship the same God for the two to be compatible. The question simply, then, is do they?
If Freemasonry were found, despite its protestations to the contrary, to be a quasi-religion and to have a different god from the Christian God, then the two would naturally be incompatible."
On pages 235 and 236, Knight goes on to reveal the
"ineffable" name of the G.A.O.T.U. which is deliberately hidden from the candidates and lower degree Masons.
"In fact the Masonic god - cloaked under the description Great Architect - has a specific name and a particular nature, which has nothing to do with Christ, Vishnu, Buddha, Mohammed or any other being recognized by the great faiths of the modern world."
"Two-thirds of Freemasons never realize the untruth of the line they are fed as to the identity of the Great Architect, because it is deliberately kept hidden from them. It is no overstatement to say that most Freemasons, even those without strong religious convictions would never have joined the Brotherhood if they had not been the victims of this subtle trick".
"The true name, although not the nature of the Masonic god, is revealed only to those Third Degree Masons who elect to be "exalted" to the Holy Royal Arch.""In the ritual of exaltation, the name of the Great Architect of the Universe is revealed as JAH-BUL-ON - not a general umbrella term open to any interpretation an individual Freemason might choose but a precise designation that describes a specific supernatural being - a compound deity composed of three separate personalities fused into one. Each syllable of the "ineffable name" represents one personality of this trinity:
JAH = Jahweh, the God of the Hebrew.
BUL = Baal, the ancient Canaanite fertility god associated with "licentious rites of imitative magic".
"ON = Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld
Coil records this in his Encyclopedia on page 516 as,
"Jah, Bel, and On appear in the American ritual of the Royal Arch degree on the supposition that Jah was the Syriac name of God, Bel (Baal) the Chaldean, and On, the Egyptian."
Anyone with a reasonable amount of Sunday School training will recall the great difficulties that the nation of Israel experienced whenever they became caught in the practice of Baal worship. 1 Kings, chapter 18 records the showdown between Elijah, the true prophet, the 450 prophets of Baal, and the 400 prophets of the grove. Verse 24 of chapter 18 says,
"And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God."
The account goes on to tell us that Baal did not, indeed, could not answer the 450 prophets, while God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob answered Elijah and consumed not only the offering, but also the wet wood and the trench full of water around the offering. Subsequently, the prophets of Baal were executed as they were false and had led the people of Israel into false idolatry.

Answer 6

That's a very interesting question - Wikipedia has a good definition of the situation. Basically the Catholic church has a problem with any religion that is not catholic. While the Masonic Lodge is not a true religion it does promote religiosity and it is not in line with what the Catholic church espouses.

Answer 7

Freemasonry promotes indifferentism, the heretical (to Christians) belief that all religions are equally legitimate attempts to explain the truth about God but that this truth will never be explained. This is incompatible with Christian faith because Christians believe that God has definitively revealed Himself in the person of Jesus Christ, and desires that all men come to the knowledge of this truth.

Freemasonry's teachings and practices also result in syncretism which is the blending of different religious beliefs into a unified whole. This shown in Masonry's religious rituals, which gather men of all faiths around a common altar, and place all religious writings along side the Bible on the Masonic altar.

The Lodge's practice of requiring its members to swear immoral oaths is also incompatible with Christianity. These oaths require a Christian to swear on the Holy Bible that he will uphold a code of moral conduct that prefers Masons to non-Masons, and to preserve secret passwords and handshakes. Such oaths are immoral because they are trivial and not necessary. These oaths are sworn under penalties of physical torture and death (e.g., having my throat cut across, and my tongue torn out by its roots). These penalties show a lack of respect for God.

Answer 8

We don't have a problem with Free Masons. Where did you get that from?

God Bless you

Answer 9

Catholic=God
Mason=Satan

Answer 10

It's not just Catholics.

No Christian can be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and a Mason at the same time.

The Catholic Church has spoken definitively on the subject.

The various protestant groups do not speak with one voice, so they are more prone to error and misconceptions on this matter.
