Mrs.M.Millet,Perth;Broadminded, Essex-street,Wembley;BeFair, MosmanPark;Bobbie,Victoria Parkandothers.

Q.:"IsitafactthatifaRomanCatholicjoinsan'Order'knownas 'Freemasonry,'heisexcommunicatedfromhisChurch?"

A.:Yes,itisafactthatnoCatholic maybecomeaMasonwithoutrenouncinghisreligion.

Q.:"Why?"

A.TheCatholicChurchforbidsHer memberstojointheMasonicLodge formanyandgoodreasons,Now, howevertolerantindividualMasons maybetowardstheCatholicChurch, andwithallduecharitytowardsindividualMasons,itstillremainsthat Masonryisasecretsocietyofacharacteropposedtorightmoralprinciples;itsoathistoosweepingand unjust;inthenameofMasonicfraternitymuchinjusticehasoccurred inordinarylife,Masonrycounting morethanmeritorability;ContinentalLatinMasonry-andthesame holdsgoodforMexicoandSouthAmerica-aimsatthedestructionofthe CatholicChurch,andyoucanhardly blametheChurchforforbiddingCatholicstojoinHeravowedenemy; norcouldtheChurchdistinguishbetweenMasonsofonecountryandof another-theMasonicOrderclaims worldwidesolidarity,andallfall equallyunderthebanoftheChurch; and,finally,Masonryclaimstobea religionandassuchistreatedsimilarlytoother'falsereligionsbythe CatholicChurch.

Q.:"WhenandwheredidFreemasonryoriginate?"

A.:TherearesomeextravagantnotionscurrentastotheoriginofMasonry.Churchward,forexample,in the"TreasuryofMasonicThought," underthechapterontheGreatPyramid,says:"Masonrygoesback3,000 yearsbeforeChristtotheEgyptian mysteriesofHorus."Othersuch claimsaremadebysomeMasonic historians;butalthoughMasonry claimstobepaganinorigin,and whilstittalkspaganism,thebestMaconichistorians,suchastheGerman Begeman,ridiculethesetheoriesand admitthatitbeganasaJacobitepoliticalsocietywhichrepudiatedthe Pretender,andfoundedthefirstGrand LodgeinLondon,underthepatronage ofthePrinceofWales,in1717.Its constitutionandritualwerewritten bythePrince'sHuguenotchaplain, aidedbyaScotchPresbyterianminister.Itsaimwasmutualassistance, andtheworshipofthe"GreatArchitectoftheUniverse,"inwhichJews, ChristiansandMohammedanscould

equallyparticipate.Itwastaken upbyFrenchrationalistsin1721,and inthefollowingyearitsorganisation wascompletedwiththenewbookof theconstitutionsandthethreedegreesofapprentice,fellowandmaster.TheScottishRiteaddedthirty totheseoriginalnewdegrees;they wereintroducedinEnglandbyPrestonin1772,andinAmericabyWebb in1773.

Freemasonrywasfirstcondemned byPopeClementXIIin1738,even thoughmanyprominentCatholicsof thetimebelongedtothelodges,such astheDukeofWharton,theDukeof Norfolkandothers.Thiscondemnationhasbeenconfirmedbymany Popessince,whohaveallagreedthat MasonrywasasocietythatunderminedtheCatholicfaith,fosteredreligiousindifferentism,evenadvocated atheism,whilefosteringauniversal contemptforallecclesiasticalauthority.

Q.:"WhathappensifaCatholicdoes becomeaMason?"

A.:ThePapalexcommunicationdeprivestheCatholicwhojoinsthe MasonsoftheSacraments,ofallshare intheChurch'spublicprayers,and finallyofCatholicburial.

Q.:"WhyareCatholicsdeniedtheir religioniftheyjointheMasonic Lodge?"

A.:Because,asIhavesaid,the MasonicsystemandtheCatholicsystemarenotreconcilable,andnoCatholicmayjointhelodgewithoutrenouncinghisChurch.Ihavejust outlinedthereasonsfortheChurch's ban;insolegislatingandinplacing suchextremesanctionsonMasonic membership,Shehasnootherinterest atheartthanthepreservationofthe faithoftheindividualCatholic.There isnodenyingtheinherentantagonism ofMasonrytotheCatholicChurch.

SenatorDelpech,Presidentofthe GrandOrientinFrance,saidonSeptember20,1902:"Thetriumphofthe Galileanhaslastedmanycenturies, butnowHediesinHisturn.He passesawaytojointhedustofthe ageswiththeotherdivinitiesofIndia, GreeceandRome,whosawsomany deceivedcreaturesprostratebefore theiraltars.BrotherMasons,werejoicethatwearenotwithoutour shareinthisoverthrowoffalseprophets.TheRomishChurchbegan todecayfromthedaytheMasonic associationwasestablished."Again, in1913,theGrandOrientofFrance said:"TheaimoftheGrandOrient istocrushRomanCatholicismin Francefirst,andthenelsewhere." MasonicjournalsinEnglandreplied totheseandotherquotationsbysayingthatEnglishMasonrydidnot

sympathisewithsuchextravagantutterances,andthatithadnoopinions, politicalorreligious.ButtheAmericanPikereplied:"Itisidletoprotest.WeareMasons,andwerecognisetheFrenchbrotherhoodas Freemasonsinvirtueofsolidarity. Oursisauniversalfraternity."As theAncientScottishRitefortheinstalmentofaGrandMastersays: "Thereisasacredbondunitingall thebrethrenofourcraft.However scatteredovertheearth,theyall composeonebody."

SoyouseethatMasonryassuchis opposedtotheCatholicChurch.I knowthatamongstthemembersare manyfinebroadandtolerantmen, whoratheradmiretheCatholicChurch ifanything;andthereisnoreason whyCatholicsandMasons,making dueallowanceforeachother'spersuasions,shouldnotbepersonallyfriendlyinthiscountry,observingalways truecharitytowardsindividuals.NeverthelessinthismattertheChurch hasgraveresponsibilities,andifwe disobeyHerwisheswithregardto membershipofthecraft,wedoso withtherenunciationofourCatholic privileges.

Q.:"WhyshouldyourChurchforbid aCatholicfrombecomingaFreemason,seeingthatinthehigherdegreeitisessentialtobeaChristian,soIunderstand?'

A.:ItisNOTessentialtobea Christian.Bro.T.J.Lawrence,inhis book,"Freemasonry,"1925,p.58,says: "MasonrydoesnotevenrequireaprofessionofChristianity.ItfreelyadmitsJews,Mohammedans,andothers whorejectChristiandoctrine."Dr. FortNewton,in"BrothersandBuilders,"saysthat,likeeverythingelse inMasonry,theBibleisasymbolof God'sperpetualrevelation,whichGod isstillmakingthroughtheOldTeseament,theKoran,theVedas,etc.That istheendoftheBibleintheChristiansense.Inthesamebookhe writesthatMasonryisnotAreligion, butTHEreligion,andthatMasons pursuetheuniversalreligion.That istheendofChristianityastheuniversalreligion.Itisbecauseofits un-ChristiancharacterthattheFree PresbyterianChurchofScotland,in 1927,madeabstentionfromthelodge aconditionofitsownmembership.In

Q.:"IknowCatholicsmyselfwho havejoinedtheMasons."

A.:Maybeyoudo,sodoI.But thosewhohavedonesohavepreferred thetemporalbenefitsofMasonryto theprinciplesoftheirreligion.They havevoluntarilyrenouncedtheir Church,anddeprivedthemselvesof therighttotheSacraments,whichto atrueCatholicmeanseverything.And Iwouldcertainlysaythis,aCatholic Masonisnotaveryhappyman.I knowbecausetheyhavetoldmeso.

Q.:"WhydoesyourChurchcondemn secretsocieties?"

A.:NoteverysecretsocietyiscondemnedbytheChurch,butonlythose whichinvolveacertainkindofsecrecy.AMasontakesasolemnoath tokeepsecretanymattersheard withinthelodge,withnoprevious ideaoftheirnatureandwithnocertaintyoftheextenttowhichheis committinghimself.Manyaman whohastakenthatoathhasrefused, becauseofit,tofollowhisconscience.

Protestant,SouthFremantle:

Q.:"AfewdaysagoIreadinthe 'WestAustralian'whereanestate wasdividedbetweenadeceased lady'sfamilyafteracertainsum hadbeenpaid forthereposeof hersoul(R.C.)."

A.:YouwilloftenfindsimilarbequestsinaCatholic'swill.Manyof themostfamouseducationalestablishmentsofEnglandandEuropewere foundedfromsuchbequestsinreturn fortheofferingofMassesbythe priestsattachedtotheinstitution.

Q.:"HowdoCatholicsgetonwho cannotaffordtopayfortherepose oftheirsouls?DidGodcommand thatyoupayacertainsumofmoney beforeyoucouldentertheKingdomof-Heaven?"

A.:AccordingtoCatholicdoctrine, apersonwhodiestooimperfectto enterHeavenimmediately,goesto Purgatory.Catholicsbelievethat theycanhelpinthefinalpurifyingof asoulinPurgatorybyprayers,indulgencesandsacrificesofferedonthat person'sbehalf,andmostofallby applyingthespecialeffectsofthe Massforthatsoul'sbenefit.Soyou seethattheLACKofMassesandprayerswillnotkeepasouloutofheaven: onlythepersonsufferinginPurgatory wouldhavetoperformhimselfallthe satisfactionforsinthatwasawingto God'sjusticeatdeath.Now,inthe willyoumention,andinallsimilarbequests,itisnotthatanysumispaid forthereposeofasoul,butthata certainsumofmoneyisbequeathed tobegiventopriestsintheformof stipendsontheoccasionofasking themtooffertheSacrificeoftheMass forthepersondeceased.ThepracticeissanctionedbySt.Paul.IncidentallyIhavenevermetaPriest whowouldnot,andhasnotfrequent',ly,offeredMasswithoutastipend, particularlyifthepersonrequesting itispoor.NeitherhaveImeta practisingCatholicwhoconsidersit otherthanfittingtoofferastipend inreturnforthePriestcelebrating Massfortheirintentions.

TheCurtainFalls,MountLawley: Q.:"WhydoyourPriestsadminister onlytheBreadattheEucharistic service?"

A.:Becausethishasbeenthecustomarumveryancienttimes,andwe considerthatCommunionundertwo kindsisunnecessary.Yousee,CatholicsbelievethatthelivineBody ofChristispresentundertheformof breadandHislivingBloodunderthe formofwine.BecauseHisFleshand .loudareliving,wheretheoneis theretheothermustbe.Sincethere isnodoctrinalobjectiontoCommunionunderonekind,reasonsofconvenienceandhygiene,especiallyinthe caseofmanyhundredsofcommunicantsatoneMass,urgethecontinuanceofthispractice.Incidentally, althoughCatholicsoftheGreekand SyrianritesnormallygiveHolyCommunionunderbothkinds,ithasalwaysbeenthecustomwiththemto communicatenewlybaptisedinfants undertheformofwineonly,which amountstothesamebeliefandpractice,doesn'tit?
