The wine at the mass is considered literally to be the Blood of Christ.

Just "considered"?

I just told him that, no, Christians do not drink human blood at the mass.

So you didn't tell him the truth, did you, for fear of offending your friend, the boy's dad?

Thank you for your polite reply. That does not always happen here on Free Republic!
Anyway, there will always be “confessions” from former members of various organizations. Maybe they are disgruntled over losing an election. Who knows?
Anyway, I am a former Freemason. I was active in a lodge for maybe four years. And that was more than twenty years ago. I never once saw anything that could be described as Satanic, or anti-Catholic. I never saw anything negative at all. And I’m not stupid. I kept my eyes and ears open.
So why did I leave Freemasonry? The answer is rather boring. The meetings were dull, and nothing was ever really accomplished. It wasn’t like the Lions Club (of which I was also a member). The Lions held charity drives and delivered goods to shut-ins.
I eventually quit the Lions too. I guess I’m a loner at heart.

Good and honest answer.
Across the street where I grew up the only link I had to them was that the girls belonged to the RAINBOW GIRLS. They got to wear BEAUTIFUL evening gowns occasionally.

Other than that -- ZIP. The family never went to ANY church, ever, not even on Christmas or Easter.

Why be a Rainbow girl or any Christian if one doesn't attend Church MANY days to worship our good Lord?
We Catholics MUST attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days but I attend Mass six days a week because there is ALWAYS time for God.

We have daily readings from the Bible and after the usual three-year cycle of different daily readings we have read the entire old and new Testament.
