You are not getting it. The local archdiocese granted the annulment, but they were overruled by the Vatican.
I am getting it.
Your point is irrelevant to the point of un-earned honors or favors, be it from the RCCor whomever.
I am not casting dispursions at the RCC.
I could have just as easily used John Kerry and his fake Bronze Stars, as an example, but Kennedy is in the news.
Read Pike’s book.
It’s full of Luciferianism.
Also, in my book, the white lambskin in the Blue Lodge ritual qualifies as “pagan trash” (your words).
The white lambskin of the Blue Lodge ritual represents the Lamb of Judea that was sacrificed for our sins, by whose sacrifice we are made clean, and not through any act of our own.
That’s Jesus Christ, BTW.
If Jesus Christ is “pagan trash” to you, you’ve got problems.
Does the lodge teach that truth to all masons, whether they be Jew, Muslim or agnostic?
Do they expect and require verbal expression of that truth?
“Does the lodge teach that truth to all masons, whether they be Jew, Muslim or agnostic?”
Not sure an agnostic could join, and muslims would undoubtedly be confused, but, yes, what the lambskin represents is printed in the monitor of the lodge, which is supplied to every mason. It’s very publically available.
“Do they expect and require verbal expression of that truth?”
No, if they chose to reject that truth, that’s between them and God. We’re a mere fraternity, not a religion.
The more the ‘mysteries’ are revealed the more Freemasonry will be undermined and diminished.
I’m opposed to all this ‘secret telling’ business. Preserve tradition and the order.
