I certainly disagree with your sentence “masonry and other
anti-clerical movements.” There is nothing anti-religious about Free Masonry. In fact belief in a Supreme Being is
required before one is accepted as an candidate for the three degrees.

In this context, "clerical" refers to the ecclesiastical authority of the Catholic Church. Masonry certainly has never accepted such authority - to the contrary, in fact.
