Friend, your position in this post is usually what we argue against with Protestants. I don't really wish to go through the Church's position on salvation and what a "church" is, but only to say, you're not helping the case that Freemasonry is not incompatible with the Church's teaching.

Personally I hope you go to the Church with these questions and become stronger in your faith. Perhaps this is not of interest to you or your disagreements run too deep.

What I don't understand is what do you get from Freemasonry that you cannot get in the Church or elsewhere without knowingly rejecting the authority of the Church?

I thank you for the words. I’m sorry you feel I don’t help the case. I will have to disagree with you on that.

I don’t get anything from Freemasonry that I should be getting from the Church. It’s something ELSE I enjoy doing. The same way I enjoy having a poker game as well, weightlifting with friends etc...

I know there isn’t anything sinful in what we do in the fraternity. I feel sorry for the ignorance and politics that caused such a position to be taken.
