Rorate Caeli Article: Mass For Masons

[Nihil Obstat]

Anyway, we should set that aside for now. Start a new thread if you would like to continue this conversation, although I cannot guarantee that I am up for a political debate.
We are rather far from the subject of how lame Masonry is.

Whenever I see a photo of Freemasons in their aprons, it always reminds me of the GMail logo.

The bigger problem is that the Bishop is probably not going to do anything about this. As an old Turkish saying goes, the fish begins to rot at the head.

what happened to REAL leaders worthy of authority?

[i][url="http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-vatican-ii-moment-masonic-memorial.html"]Rorate[/url][/i] has this, but I want to bring it to the attention of as many people as possible… lest nothing be done about it.[/background][background=transparent]
Keep in mind that [url="http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19850223_declaration-masonic_articolo_en.html"]Catholics cannot be Masons[/url]. Period. Masonry and Christianity are not compatible. As a matter of fact, they are antithetical. The CDF has made it clear that Catholics cannot be Masons. The 1983 CIC does not specifically mention Masons but says that membership in organizations that “plot against the Church”, is prohibited and can be punished with a censure:[/background][indent][background=transparent]
Can. 1374. A person who joins an association which plots against the Church is to be punished with a just penalty; one who promotes or takes office in such an association is to be punished with an interdict.[/background][/indent][background=transparent]
That said, how to interpret this?[/background][background=transparent]
In the Diocese of Pesqueira (state of Pernambuco, Brazil), on 20 August 2012 Father [url="http://www.diocesedepesqueira.org/index-presbiterio.php"]Geraldo de Magela Silva[/url], celebrated a “Day of the Freemason” Mass. Photos were posted on the Facebook page of a Masonic organization. [i]Rorate[/i] has a few. Here is one.[/background][background=transparent]

I am not 100% certain, but in the following photo it looks as if the priest is giving Communion to a man dressed in Masonic gear.[/background][background=transparent]

What is going on in Brazil? [i]Rorate[/i], in another post, looked at what a Brazilian bishop did some time back.

The bishop is, I believe, the one [i]not[/i] dressed in Masonic gear, though the Masons are certainly dressed with greater class.[/background][background=transparent]
I’m just sayin’.[/background][background=transparent]
If you are a Catholic involved in some Masonic group… [i]GET OUT NOW[/i].[/background]

Anyone want to invent a Gmail-Masonic conspiracy? Could be fun.

You mean there isn't one somehow already?

Ok, well I'll start this off. Everyone add a bit as you think of it.

Obviously Gmail is a Masonic front, for which the purpose is to read all our communications and put together a database of Christian strengths and weaknesses in the fight against Masonry.

All I know is what is in the article.

[The OrthoFox]

the orthofox does not approve of holy communion given to masons- that evil and unchristian cult- we do not approve of them one bit~

[Nihil Obstat]

Ah......... well all right.
