"However, as a devout Catholic, I don't really have any interest in a movement with the degree of anti-Catholic history that the Masons have generally."
There are many Catholic members of my Lodge. Are you to say that because of the Catholic history of Anti-Masonry, that I am not to associate with them or have interest in the Catholic Church, which I believe to be a force for good?
Ahemm... those "Catholics" aren't being very good Catholics by disobeying the Church. They should be in the Knights of Columbus, not your organization.
Dear 5Madman2,
The men in your Lodge who claim to be Catholic are, by their membership in your Lodge, no longer Catholics in good standing.
If, because of your membership in Masonry, you prefer not to be a Catholic, although I'd disagree with your conclusion, but I'd understand why you came to it.
