Are the Freemasons Christian or even compatible with the Christian religion?
Quotes of the Freemasons Prior to Vatican II
* From the book 'Morals and Dogma' by Albert Pike (past 'pope' of freemasonry):
"The mason is familiar with the doctrine that the supreme being is a centre of light." and on page 321: "Lucifer the light-bearer. Lucifer the son of the morning. Is it he who bears the light? Doubt it not!" (This book has been called the 'bible' of freemasonry, and is given to all masons in the 4th degree.)
* On July 14,1889 Albert Pike issued formal written instruction to the 23 'Supreme (masonic) Councils' of the world. He said: "To you sovereign grand inspectors general we say this, that you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st, & 30th degrees. The masonic religion should by all of us initiates be maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine. Yes, Lucifer is God, and the true and pure religion is the belief in Lucifer." On page 324, he identifies Lucifer as the devil: "A devil, the fallen Lucifer..."
* The occult-based 'New Age' (short for 'New World Order') movement is fully masonic in origin. They published the 'NEW AGE' magazine (now called 'Scottish Rite Journal') for 100 years. Prominent new-ager David Spangler said: "The light comes from Lucifer, he is the light-bearer."
* The ALTA VENDITA was the highest Masonic Lodge in Italy in the 1800's. One of its chiefs, 'Tigrotto' stated in 1822: "CATHOLICISM MUST BE DESTROYED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD." "LET US CONSPIRE ONLY AGAINST ROME." (from booklet 'Papacy and Freemasonry' by Msgr. Jouin, P.2)
* Rabbi Isaac Waites (1855): "Masonry is a Jewish Institution whose history degrees, assignments, signs and explanations are of Jewish nature from beginning to end." (from video 'Biblical End Time Prophecies II' by Most Holy Family Monastery (M.H.F.M.)
* "It is evident that there are only Jews and kabbalistic Jews in Masonry's origin." (Bernard Lessare - Jewish historian - M.H.F.M. video).
* Both the MAFIA and the 'P-2' Masons of Italy, were founded by Giuseppi Mazzini, who said: "Our final end is that of Voltaire and the French Revolution - the destruction forever of Catholicism."
* A mason,'F. Limousine', in the magazine "Masonic Review" - Oct. 1902: "Freemasonry is an association... an institution, so it is said. But it is not that at all. Let us lift up all the veils, risking even to evoke numberless protestations - FREEMASONRY IS A CHURCH: It is the COUNTER-CHURCH, COUNTER-CATHOLICISM. It is the OTHER CHURCH - the church of Heresy, of FREETHOUGHT."
* In the Freemason's book "The Evolution of Freemasonry", by Delmar Darrah - page 89 it states: "MARTIN LUTHER opened the way for the future development of Freemasonry."
* A stone inscription of the 'Masonic Grand Orient & Supreme Council' in France reads: "THE FIGHT TAKING PLACE BETWEEN CATHOLICISM and FREEMASONRY IS A FIGHT TO THE VERY DEATH - CEASELESS AND MERCILESS" (Msgr. Jouin P.3)
* Mason 'Manly P. Hall', in his book "The Lost Keys of Freemasonry", page 48: "When the mason learns the key is the proper application of the dynamo's living power, he has learned the mystery of his craft - the seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands."
* In the early 19th century, a document called 'The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita' was issued by that highest Italian Lodge (mentioned earlier) which mapped out a blueprint for the total subversion of the Church, through takeover of the Papacy / hierarchy and the worldwide structure of the Church, not only to eradicate the influence of Catholicism in society, but to promote their evil agenda under deceptive titles like "renewal", "progress", and "enlightenment"! A few quotes from that lengthy document:
"The, task that we are going to undertake is not the work of a day, or of a month, or of a year; it may last several years, perhaps even a century; but in our ranks the soldier dies and the struggle goes on... What we must look for and wait for... is a Pope according to our needs... With this, in order to shatter the high rock on which God has built His Church (!), we no longer need Hannibalian vinegar, or gunpowder. We have the little finger of the successor of Peter engaged in the ploy...
"Now then, to assure ourselves a Pope of the required dimensions, it is a question first of shaping for this Pope a generation worthy of the reign we are dreaming of [by saturating society with liberalism/free opinion/vice] Leave old people and those of a mature age aside; go to the youth, and if it is possible, even to the children... You will contrive for yourselves, at little cost, a reputation as good Catholics and pure patriots! This reputation will put access to our doctrines into the midst of the young clergy, as well as deeply into the monasteries. In a few years, by the force of things, this young clergy will have overrun all the functions; they will form the sovereign's council, they will be called to choose a Pontiff who should reign. And this Pontiff will be... imbued with the revolutionary principles that we are going to begin to put into circulation." "..let the clergy march under your standard, alwaysbelieving that they are marching under the banner of the Apostolic keys." (Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita. - J. Venarri) (pages 6 -10)
Who but the serpent - could contrive such cruel and sinister subversion!
Quotes of the Vicars of Christ
POPE CLEMENT XII (1738) - 'In Eminenti' : "We have resolved and decreed to condemn and forbid such Societies, assemblies, reunions, conventions, aggregations or meetings called either Freemasonic or known under some other denomination. WE CONDEMN AND FORBID THEM BY THIS, OUR PRESENT CONSTITUTION, WHICH IS TO BE CONSIDERED VALID FOREVER."
POPE CLEMENT XIII: (1759): Encyclical 'Christianae Republicae Salus'. Anathematizing all Voltairian and Masonic works..."In our days nothing is free from the attacks of those who are impious. GOD HIMSELF becomes the object of their insolent audacity, they represent HIM as a BEING who is mute, inert, devoid of a sense of providence or justice …”
POPE PlUS VI (1775) - 'Inscrutibile': Warned of these 'SECTS OF PERDITION (HELL)' , who were penetrating everywhere, even into the Church!
POPE PIUS VII (1821): "They come under the guise of sheep although they are in truth, none but ravening wolves." They propagandize "RELIGIOUS INDIFFERENCE WHICH IS, OF ALL, THE MOST PERNICIOUS." - - (Note well dear reader - this true Vicar of Christ warns that the lie that any religion other than the one revealed by Christ can save, is the most pernicious evil! )
POPE LEO XII (1825): feared MASONIC PENETRATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHING. Also stated: "They have dared publish works on Religion and affairs of State, they have exposed their contempt for authority, their hatred of Sovereignty, their attacks against the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the very existence of God: They openly vaunt their materialism as well as their codes and statutes which explain their plans and efforts in order to overthrow the legitimate Heads of State and completely destroy the Church." And he quoted Clement XIII’s remedial warning: "I entreat you to become penetrated of the Strength of the Spirit of God, His Intelligence and His Virtue, in order to escape being likened to the MUTE DOGS who, unable to bark, leave our flocks exposed to the voracity of beasts roaming the fields... LET US ABANDON EVEN THE THOUGHT OF BEING CHRISTIANS IF WE HAVE REACHED THE POINT OF TREMBLING BEFORE THE THREATS OR THE TRAPS LAID FOR US BY PERVERTS." - from his encyclical 'Quo Graviora'
POPE PIUS VIII: in his encyclical 'Traditi', 1829: showed that all Masonic Sects issued from the "WELL OF PERDITION", and following Leo XII, most particularly mentions the Sect called "Universitaire", saying: "IT'S AIM IS TO CORRUPT YOUTH IN SCHOOLS."
POPE GREGORY XVI (1832): Encyclical "Mirari Vos": "EVIL comes out of Secret Societies, bottomless abyss of misery, which those conspiring societies have dug and in which heresies and sects have, as may be said, vomited as in a privy all they hold of licentiousness, sacrilege and blasphemy."
POPE PlUS IX (1873): "The Satanic spirit of the Sect was particularly evidenced, in the past century, during the course of the Revolutions of France which shook the entire world. Such upheavals proved that the total dissolution of human society could be expected unless the forces of this ultra criminal Sect were crushed." - "However, the Apostolic See's efforts have not been crowned with the success that might have been expected. The Masonic Sect of which we speak has been neither defeated nor overthrown: JUST THE REVERSE, the Sect has developed to such an extent that, in these days of great difficulty, it shows itself everywhere and with impunity and raises a more audacious countenance."
