It's not that I am underinformed, it's that many writers say things about it that aren't really true without backing it up like the passage that stated the Cardinal Bernadin was honored by the Freemasons which implied he was a devil worshiper or anti Catholic, anyone can throw out those statements without relative facts.
The K of C has secrets are they banned from the Catholic Church?
<> FR. Smith and Sitetest have spoken the truth. Their words have value and the ring of authority. They cite legitimate authority. Now, you are at liberty to oppose legitimate authority and right reason but don't expect the Catholic Caucus to be befuddled by your personal opinion when it opposes authority and right reason.
In regards to your point about being underinformed, I was speaking about Masonry, not Card Bernardin. You are also at liberty to praise and defend Card Bernardin.
However, I think it useful to note the individuals forming a line behind you in your defense of Card Bernardin will be fewer in number than the total number of words in a Walter Cronkite,"Famous quotes" collection.... "And that's the way it is." <>
