The Pope issued a statement stating it is a grave sin to be a Freemason or to associate with this group and you will not be allowed to receive communion. I guess that means if you are Catholic and if you are a member or associate with a member you are going to the fires below when you die. Something about the Church disagreeing with the Freemason’s deistic, non-Christian teaching in divinity. I don’t know too much about this organization but I thought they did a lot of good.

Deists=heretics.
I did read somewhere the Freemasons are deists, like Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin were said to be.

Deists believe in a Creator that got the universe going, then stands back and watches things unfold by chance or free will of his creations.
Deists consider the Bible a book of fairy tales.
I'm not surprised at all the Pope chose to excommunicate them. Why are they church members to begin with?

Catholics are Knights of Columbus.
Freemasons are the proddys.
Good on the Pope.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Some of them yes.
In those days most people thought the king was appointed by God. To be an Englishman and rebel against the king was unthinkable.
But if you believe only in a Creator deity, who doesn't bother appointing kings, that rebellion becomes thinkable. You would only be rebelling against a cruel and arbitrary king, not against God's will.

James obviously knows nothing of freemasonry and freemasons. I doubt he's ever heard of the Order of the Eastern Star, either. I admit I was going on reading I've done on the Founding Fathers, and things may have changed in Freemasonry. Why don't you enlighten us? Jim

Jim James, you really do have a shaky but ideological grasp of history don't you? No englishman believed in the Divine Right of Kings since parliament chopped off King Charlie's noggin in 1649 and knew full well that Georgie was a creation of parliament. Type in the search term "Glorious Revolution".
