The past master of my lodge is catholic
I always thought they were secret.
Many Cradle Catholics are ignorant of the ban on Freemasonry.
One of my coworkers who was a cradle catholic was a Mason for decades and decided that he wanted to join the Knights of Columbus and was informed that he first must sever his ties to the Masons.
He was surprised and oblivious as to why.
I have to wonder if that past master’s priest knew that he was a mason. Was he a practicing Catholic?
We have some Catholics in our lodge.
