As a Catholic I am forbidden from joining the Masons under pain of excommunication, and for good reason. Pope Leo XIII promulgated the Church's stance on Freemasonry, including why the faithful are forbidden from joining the secret society, with the encyclical "Humanum Genus". Paragraph 12 of the papal encyclical states,
>Now, the fundamental doctrine of the naturalists[Masons], which they sufficiently make known by their very name, is that human nature and human reason ought in all things to be mistress and guide. Laying this down, they care little for duties to God, or pervert them by erroneous and vague opinions. For they deny that anything has been taught by God; they allow no dogma of religion or truth which cannot be understood by the human intelligence, nor any teacher who ought to be believed by reason of his authority. And since it is the special and exclusive duty of the Catholic Church fully to set forth in words truths divinely received, to teach, besides other divine helps to salvation, the authority of its office, and to defend the same with perfect purity, it is against the Church that the rage and attack of the enemies are principally directed.
The Freemasons are among the big three mortal enemies of the Church, the others being Judaism and Marxism. In the 19th century, the Masons orchestrated the military conquest of the Papal Estates in Italy. Since the time of the Roman Empire, much of the land of the Italian peninsula was owned and governed by the Vatican. Those who resided in the Papal Estates were subject to Canon Law. The forces backed by the Masonic lodges pushed the boundaries of the Estates back to small parcel of land in Rome.
If you are thinking about become a Freemason, I strongly urge you to reconsider. You will be placing your soul in great peril.
