“If this is true it is not because of any thing the Masons believe.”
False. It is exactly because of Masonic beliefs stemming from their 18th century origins.
You are expressing reasons why the Catholic church disalows membership in the masons I am expressing the Masons feelings toward catholics being members which is they are perfectly welcomed by Masons to be members if they wish!!
Masons track their roots back much further than the eighteenth century!!!
