Opinion of the Roman Catholic Church in regards to the Freemasons

[they don't love you like i love you]

I'll give credit where it's due. This is one issue where the Catholic Church are uber-mega epic Freedom Fighters.

Saddam Hussein was also a huge Freedom Fighter on this issue interestingly enough. Freemasonry is true evil.

[John Dibble]

Specifically what have the Freemasons done to get your goat? It seems to me that someone who had civilians in his own country killed by chemical weapons would fit the definition of "true evil" better than a group which as far as I can tell hasn't really done anything coming close to that.

[Keystone Phil]

I'm surprised that BRTD hates the Freemasons.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Mouhahaahah. That makes me laugh. I find it so, no offense, but, stupid!

Unless, you don't know what are masons, I don't see necessity to answer this.

I'm beginning to think that BRTD is actually little more than a computer generated program which has a couple of basic default settings and ideas built into it (HATE STRIP CLUBS FREEMASONS IRISH OPEBO.. you get the idea), it is set on random as to when and which of those settings and ideas be expressed.

[Nixon in '80]

I'm not going to vote in this, because the majority of Catholics are rational, but...

I once had a religion teacher who told us of a worldwide Freemason conspiracy to infiltrate the Catholic Church and destroy it from the inside out.

She was nuts.

I don't fully understand the deep-seeded anger people feel towards Freemasons.

You've either got an impressively warped sense of humour, or no sense of irony.

[RosettaStoned]

Screw the freemasons.

[dead0man]

I bet our Russian friend can't explain why he hates them either.

Sometimes my mind slips and I think all the idiots are on the far right, then I read threads like this and remember there are idiots of all political stripes.  Thank you BRTD.  Thank you Mr. Stoned.  Thank you to many of our Euro friends.

Haha, I should have been more careful with my wording.  I can understand why people a long time ago thought negatively of them, but their irrelevance today pretty much negates any real feelings of continued animosity.  Though I do find the reasons for hatred rather stupid regardless.

I don't think that anyone really hates them in the way that people used to, even if some of the sentiment is still around (example; IIRC Members of the Welsh Assembly who are Masons (I think there's only one) have to declare that they are on their register of interests. Anti-Mason sentiment in (South especially) Wales is a hangover from the first century of industrialisation; sort of like the way that newsagents in parts of the Valleys don't stock certain newspapers historically associated with industrialists).

So are the Catholic Church idiots too?

Their initial reason is at least because the rules of the Freemasons contradicts their dogma - specifically that they believe the teaching of the Freemasons is that of a naturalistic deist religion, which obviously isn't in line with the whole Christian thing.

And again, I have to ask what exactly the Freemason's have done to earn your ire?

[they don't love you like i love you]

The Iraq War for starters, though that's just their most recent and well-known atrocity. They've been a plague on the world for centuries

Actually that could be applied for alot of your posts recently, BRTD. Even more so than usual.

Laugh all you like, but I read some well-sourced info on Democratic Underground that the PNAC were all part of some Masonic order. In addition to control they wanted to eliminate one of their enemies (Saddam) and hoped to discredit the Catholic Church as one of their primary goals has always been destruction of it (Of course I doubt Protestants would fare much better under their regime considering the deistic sort of religion they want to replace it with.)

Your welcome asshole.

Even supposing that they were, does that mean all or even most Masons are PNAC members? Basic logic BRTD - just because all X's are Y's, it does not follow that all Y's are X's. There are about five million Freemasons on the planet, and over three million of those aren't even US citizens. Why would they be involved with the PNAC?

In other words you have a nutty conspiracy theory without any hard evidence. Do you ever wonder why people think you're an idiot? Just because some nut in a DU forum posted a conspiracy theory doesn't mean you should believe him - and lots of conspiracy theories are "well documented", that doesn't make them true. Do you believe everything you read?

But it's well-sourced and establishes a weak correlation

Sorry to rain on your parade, Alcoun.

I'm not the guy that believes in retarded conspiracy theories...but if it makes you feel better to insult instead of explain your idiocy, feel free to continue.

You're the one who started being a bitch first.

[dead0man]

Yes, we all know you don't know why you hate.  Maybe you could get BRTD to send you a link to something that would tell you what your opinion is?

I have my own opinions, thank you very much.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Why aren't the normal Catholic apologists attacking the Masons here as well?
