I have no problem with the roman church, although they are often a bit misguided and mystical for my taste.

I do, however, have a problem with people who misrepresent the roman church's position, which is clearly stated in the letter above.

I am unaware of robes, hoods, or the like used in masonry.

NOW GO AND SLANDER some other group of good men, which include, Samuel Nicholas, who created the U. S. Marine Corps, by the way.

Not to mention these Medal of Honor recipients: Maj. Randoph Berkley (Marine); Audie Murphy, Jimmie Doolittle, Carl Sitter (Marine), Buffalo Bill Cody, Col. Miles, Lewis Millet, Wendell Neville, Eddie Richenbacher, Hulon Whittington, Ernest Dervishian, William Wilbur, Gen. Wainwright, Joe Jackson, Dennis Bell, William Blackmar,William Blackwood, Frank Baldwin (got 2 actually), and Nathan Allen.

Maybe loosen the tinfoil cap, too.

It's obviously cut off circulation for someone who claims to be a Marine to willingly slander an organization that such men would join as mere "nonsense."

I guess you didn't learn remedial reading at the last Freemason meeting. LMAO

so here ya go again.

"The Church has imposed the penalty of excommunication on Catholics who become Freemasons. The penalty of excommunication for joining the Masonic Lodge was explicit in the 1917 code of canon law (canon 2335), and it is implicit in the 1983 code (canon 1374). Because the revised code of canon law is not explicit on this point, some drew the mistaken conclusion that the Church's prohibition of Freemasonry had been dropped. As a result of this confusion, shortly before the 1983 code was promulgated, the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a statement indicating that the penalty was still in force. This statement was dated November 26, 1983 and may be found in Origins 13/27 (Nov. 15, 1983), 450."

Go peddle your BS to someone who doesn't know Catholic Canon Law.
