> I had asked for priests you knew personally. I’ll ask again, do you?
Yes, I do. And no, I am not going to name them because, like all people, they are entitled to their privacy. If they wanted to make their Freemasonry public, they would.
> Jean-Marie Villot was not a freemason.
Says you. He became a Freemason in Switzerland in 1966.
> Membership remains forbidden, those who do are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion.
Yet they do.
I am not going to name them [Freemason Priests) because, like all people, they are entitled to their privacy. If they wanted to make their Freemasonry public, they would.
If it's no problem, as you seem to believe, what would be the problem?
I would disagree: Priests are not entitled to privacy to conceal violation of their oaths of obedience and violations of canon law.
If these priests exist, they must rely on the secrecy of other masons and cannot plead ignorance of their offense to the Church.
