Opinion of the Roman Catholic Church in regards to the Freemasons

[John Dibble]

Specifically what have the Freemasons done to get your goat? It seems to me that someone who had civilians in his own country killed by chemical weapons would fit the definition of "true evil" better than a group which as far as I can tell hasn't really done anything coming close to that.

I bet our Russian friend can't explain why he hates them either.

Sometimes my mind slips and I think all the idiots are on the far right, then I read threads like this and remember there are idiots of all political stripes.  Thank you BRTD.  Thank you Mr. Stoned.  Thank you to many of our Euro friends.

So are the Catholic Church idiots too?

Their initial reason is at least because the rules of the Freemasons contradicts their dogma - specifically that they believe the teaching of the Freemasons is that of a naturalistic deist religion, which obviously isn't in line with the whole Christian thing.

And again, I have to ask what exactly the Freemason's have done to earn your ire?

Laugh all you like, but I read some well-sourced info on Democratic Underground that the PNAC were all part of some Masonic order.

Even supposing that they were, does that mean all or even most Masons are PNAC members? Basic logic BRTD - just because all X's are Y's, it does not follow that all Y's are X's. There are about five million Freemasons on the planet, and over three million of those aren't even US citizens. Why would they be involved with the PNAC?

In other words you have a nutty conspiracy theory without any hard evidence. Do you ever wonder why people think you're an idiot? Just because some nut in a DU forum posted a conspiracy theory doesn't mean you should believe him - and lots of conspiracy theories are "well documented", that doesn't make them true. Do you believe everything you read?
