Obviously, you are not a Mason either. I am a practicing Catholic and a Master Mason. Cotholicsm is my RELIGION! Masonry is my FRATERNITY! You get the difference? You will even find Catholic priests that are Masons.

For one it may be nothing more than a fraternity. For another it is their religion. So the question becomes is it a fraternity or is it a religion? How does one define "Religion"? Is there a difference between "Faith" and "Religion"? If a fraternity is actively engaged in teaching a religion which is contradictory to one's faith, is that one obligated by his own faith to dis-associate from the fraternity? Are you aware that atheism itself is technically a religion? Where does one "check their religion at the door" so as to promote brotherly love? If I love my brother who is without Christ, shall I kneel at a common alter with him as he worships a false god?

You will even find Catholic priests that are Masons.

I can also find Catholic priests that have shamed their faith in unspeakable ways. This does not make the practice acceptable in God's eyes.
