Thequestionissometimesasked. e'Masons soanti-Cathelieand anti-ChristiancouldCatholicBies hoesandevenPopeshavelvenmembersofthecraft? IfPopescould bemembersordinaryCatholicsought tobeallowed.

Awriterinthe"NewAge,"the MasonicmagaMnepublishedinWashington,D.(2.,saysintheJanuary numberforteos."Wehavenot theslightestPrejudiceagainstthe RomanCatholicChurch.Weregard itscondemnationofFreemasonryas theresultofignoranceofthetrue natureandaimsofthefraternity." HegoesantostatethatLenningin his"GermanFreemasonryI..exicon" saysthatPopeBenedictXIVhad beenprivatelyinitiatedintotheorder.

Again,heclaimsthatPoPePius IXwasaFreemason,andthatBishopLeNodes,ofDijon,isreallya memberofthefraternityandthat thelaymanisonlyfollowingthe leadofthehighdignitariesofhis ownchurch.
