It does seem to me that when one is ready to hear the real truth God appoints those who will reveal it as it is and not what one has been taught or told they should believe.
It is truly amazing that folks think it unimaginable the intellegent and wise men could fall into Masonary. Many at one time were just that...wise and intelligent, though I understands many of todays Masons are far less so then what once was. Still... people have this false sense of security in themselves that they would never fall for such things as Masonary and other cultish groups. All are vulnerable.
Thank God for Your Priest who appears probably new enough of Masonary to reveal it’s danger. The Caaatholic Church still stands very much opposses to Masonary.
I believe that God keeps poking people, in order to get their attention. He did wonders with me, and He caused me to haul my sorry a** back into the Faith. I was my parish representative to the diocesan committee working on the five year plan for the diocese last year, and I teach CCD (Sunday School), and am a lector. I usually bring the more significant happenings in the Church to parish attention and they'll get mentioned in either the announcements / bulletin or in the intentions for Mass each week.
Oh, and they often ask me about the Catechism and Church history. God has caused a number of excellent people to cross my path in various venues, including FR, who have moved me much closer to Him and for that I am indebted beyond words.
