You originally wrote:

Back before every bishop had to report to the pope in Rome, a priest was allowed to be married. After Gregory VII, as part of a general effort to consolidate and control the Catholic franchise, the clergy was informed that they were to give up their wives. If you didn't agree, your wife was abducted and sold into slavery.

I asked for a source and you replied with:

Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry, by John J. Robinson, M. Evans & Company, New York, 1989, p. 261. ISBN 0-87131-602-1

Thank you. The quality of this contribution is now piercingly clear.

I would submit to you that John J. Robinson was an exceptional scholar. Before you fly off on a "I hate Masons because they are a Satanic Cult" schtick, I think you need to know that Mr. Robinson was not associated with Free Masonry when he researched and wrote this book.

It was his research that led him to become a Mason late in his life, a process that he documented in his last book on the subject.

I would highly recommend that you read "Born in Blood" before you continue to attack, unless of course, you are either afraid of the truth, or your Priest or Bishop won't let you.

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."
