prav, your continued personal attacks and outright smears, is beneath contempt. First you stated that a Catholic joining Freemasonry would be like a Jew becoming a Nazi and now this bit of garbage.
Oh, it is far worse than that. For a Catholic to join the Freemasons is to join the very enemies of Christ and His Church.
Pope John Paul II raised to altar St. Maximilian Kolbe, a believer in the authenticity of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and a professed adversary of the Freemasons. St. Kolbe gave his life to save a Jewish man in a Nazi concentration camp.
St. Maximilian Kolbe:
"At that time I was conscious of a greater tendency to pride; nevertheless I felt the Immaculata drawing me to herself more and more closely... I had a custom of keeping a holy picture of one of the Saints to whom she appeared on my prie-dieu in my cell, and I used to pray to the Immaculata very fervently. One of my confreres, upon seeing the picture, remarked that I must have a great devotion to that Saint. But it was really the Immaculata to whom I was directing my prayers. Years later, the Freemasons in Rome began to demonstrate openly and belligerently against the Church. They placed the black standard of the "Giordano Brunisti" under the windows of the Vatican. On this standard the archangel, St. Michael, was depicted lying under the feet of the triumphant Lucifer. At the same time, countless pamphlets were distributed to the people in which the Holy Father was attacked shamefully. Right then I conceived the idea of organizing an active society to counteract Freemasonry and other slaves of Lucifer."
First, he didn't say that and I pray the Moderator will evaluate his original statement in post #22 in the light it was meant to be taken. Secondly, if you're going to hit the abuse button, I suggest you report your fellow Masons that have called Catholics stupid, dishonorable and some other choice words in here. Not to mention calling our priests queers as oldtimer did in post #192.
Notice you didn't get too upset about those comments.
