I’m sorry, I didn’t communicate very clearly.
The question I was trying to ask is:
Are prospective Masons told that joining will not affect their church relationship, or something to that effect. Is this correct in your experience?
“Are prospective Masons told that joining will not affect their church relationship, or something to that effect. Is this correct in your experience?”
There is a statement prior to our oath that says that the obligation will not ask anything of us that will interfere with our duty to God, family, country, neighbor, or self.
This is absolutely true, as there is nothing there or after that requires us any activity, indoctrination, or prosetylization that would interfere with any of those.
Now, to parse that out a bit, we do not mention our interference with our relationship with any church - only God. It is up to the member to decide whether what he does interferes with his relationship with his church. Not to nitpick, but even Catholics have varying standards of what interferes with their church that have changed from pope to pope.
