The evil people who critize masons are doing Satan's work, whether they know it or not.

Hmmmm...as with other Masons I've seen here getting overly defensive, they all seem to say Catholics are attacking Masons. All I've really seen here is an attach on the ideology of Masonry. Haven't seen much slander of individual Masons.

However, I'd have to ask you if slandering people as doing "Satan's work" is something you consider to be exemplary behavior?

Oh no, as general proposition, sane, normal, RCs don't attack masons. Indeed, the KOC often meet in our lodge buiilding.

Generaly, it's the the nutjobs who play RCs on FreeRepublic attacks masons.

It's of said nutjobs I speak of doing Satan's work, which they are, knowingly or unknowingly.

The RCC is a fine, old, Christian denomination filled with many wonderful Christian people and traditions.

But, go ahead, by all means, discourage people from doing God's work by spreading false slanders, if you think that is something God wants you to do.

CTID: As Catholics, we recognize as sin that behavior known as detraction. To paint all Masons with a broad brush is detraction. Just as it would be detraction for Masons to paint all Catholics with a broad brush. MeanWestTexan does not seem to be engaging in detraction or even lesser forms of aggression. He has specifically credited many Catholics as good people though he is apparently not Catholic. Do we NEED more in the way of good will from him???? Don't we owe him good will???
