My father was a Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus and my grandfather on my mother's side was a Lodge Master of the Masons.

That position is referred to as:"Worshipfull Master of the Lodge". I should know, I was Worshipfull Master of my lodge.

I KNOW of what I speak unless the Catholic Church has changed their laws in the last 40 years. Have they?

I don't know, I'm not Catholic.

I'm not saying that their aren't "fallen away" Catholics highrer up in the Masons, but a devout Catholic isn't UNLESS the rules have changed.

Then you misspeak, or I misunderstood you. Your original post seemed to indicate that the Masons would not let a Catholic go higher than the first "Entered Apprentice" degree.

Are you now saying that the Catholic Church will let a Catholic become a first degree Mason? What is the point of that?

You read it wrong!! I said NO Catholic that follows his religion would go past the First Degree. I'm SURE that the Masons would allow them to, but our Church does NOT.

What does a Worshipful Mason do?
