Freemasonry builds "Temples", they take oaths of secrecy, they attack the Catholic Church.

I've never seen the Masons attack the Catholic church...And I suspect the Knights of Columbus are the masons of the Catholic religion...

Read this article for a criticism of Masonry from an evangelical Protestant POV. As the article explains, Masonry effectively teaches salvation by ethical conduct apart from grace, and teaches a deistic, non-Christian view of God. It also involves taking oaths promising to commit sinful acts.

The Catholic objections to Masonry, in addition to the things CRI identifies, include additionally that continental European Masons have long been very anti-Catholic and anti-clerical. (The Mexican government which executed Catholic priests in the 1920's was heavily dominated by Masons.)

Calling the Knights the "masons of the Catholic Church"? Well, if you think the Masons are just a somewhat silly men's club, I suppose there would be some validity to that. However, the Knights are very pro-Catholic and emphatically do not teach another religion. The same cannot be said of the Masons.

“I’ve never seen the Masons attack the Catholic church...”

Are you a Mason?
