Don't forget Simon Bolivar and Benito Juarez. They were Masons, too, and dared to lead the cause of liberty in their respective countries.

Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian patriot, was also a Mason. He was instrumental in freeing Rome from Papal control and unifying Italy into one nation.

Lajos Kossuth, the great Hungarian patriot and freedom fighter, who was the Governor of Hungary during its all too short lived independence from Austria, was also a Mason.

And these examples of freedom loving patriots, is the genesis of the first and subsequent anti-Masonic Papal Bulls! As I said earlier on this thread, the anti-Masonic rhetoric, from the popes WAS ALWAYS POLITICAL, but couched in and overlaid with religious treatments!

I believe every Fascist leader of the 20th century who colectively almost managed to enslave the world was Roman Catholic by birth........ Must be a coincidence!

Personally I know Roman Catholic, Sikh and Muslim Freemasons, but the vast majority are Protestant.
