I want to
refer you to the Encyclical Letter of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII on
Freemasonry, titled Humanum Genus. I would have linked that title to TAN
books, which is the publisher of my own copy, but their webpage doesn’t
recognize the title anymore. In fact
they sadly are not selling anything prior to Vatican II, (that I could find)
but you will find it on Amazon for about $3.00.
You may be
thinking, “I could care less about Freemasonry, so why would I want this?” I’ll tell you why. In the last couple of weeks Pope Francis and
Freemasonry have been openly discussed in the same breath. Up to now people have merely whispered about
it. If there ever were a time you NEEDED
TO KNOW about this subject, it is NOW.
Humanum Genus, written in 1884, makes it very
clear that Freemasonry is a not a generic term but a very real
organization, but one which has many others that fall in line with it,
that do the bidding of Freemasonry, and which are in fact linked to it in ways
only those at the top of some organizations are allowed to know.
Paragraph 9
