Do they accept Catholics?

[Concho]

YES

[laconic]

I'm not a member but I don't think they have any restrictions on Catholics as members; I think, however, that the Church used to discourage membership in the Masons or the Shriners, which I believe is an offshoot of same.

[Chode]

of course...

[B Knotts]

FYI, a Catholic may not join a masonic organization and remain in full communion with the Church.

Quaesitum est

Therefore the Church's negative judgment in regard to Masonic association remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful who enrol in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion.

Yes, they do. But the Catholic church is against Catholics joining the Masons.
