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.

Try again. Your citation is outdated (1983).
Read the letter by Cardinal Mahoney in post 128.
You're pathetic. I doubt you were a Marine.
