JustaFreemason,Cottesloe:

A.:SomeweeksagoIanswereda seriesofquestionsfromlistenersonthe attitudeoftheCatholicChurchto wardsFreemasonry,Iwasaskedwhy theChurchforbidshermembersto jointheMasonicLodge,andwhathappensif Iwasalsoasked whyaCatholicwasforbiddentobecomeaMason"seeingthatinthehigherdegreeitisessentialtobeaChristian,"asonelistenerputit.Well, Isimplyansweredthosequestions,and ifyouprefertoconstruemyremarks nthatoccasionasanattackonFreemasonry,mightIremindyouofthe wordswithwhichIconcludedmyrepliesontheeveningtowhichyou refer:

repliesonFreemasonry.AsyousuggestDr.Battye'sremarksareinteresting.

Q.:"AsFreemasons,"hesays,"we havenoquarrelwiththedoctrines ordogmasofanyChurch."

A.:Whilstthatperhapsistrue,on theotherhanditisalsotruethatFreemasonryistheembodimentoftheProtestantprinciplethatonereligionis asgoodasanother.Andbyitspracticaladherencetothisprincipleitdoes, ineffect,takesides-thesideofProtestantism-andthereforeholdsabrief forasystemoffaithandmoralitydiametricallyopposedtoCatholicism.

Q.:TheGrandMastergoesontosay:

"ButwedoubtwhetherHisHoliness thePope,whohastherespectand venerationofallright-mindedpeople,wouldlayclaimtotheomisiciencethatthebroadcasterinquestiondoes.Perhapswemayexcuse himonthegroundthateventhevery youngarenotalwaysright."

A.WithallduerespecttotheGrand Ireallyfailtoseethatmy agehasanythingtodowiththeviews oftheCatholicChurch.Iquiteagree withtheGrandMasterthatthevery youngarenotalwaysright,however, asIhavebeenatpainstopointouton morethanoneoccasion.Iamnot expoundingmyownpersonalviewsin s-g,ion.buttheteachingofthe CatholicChurch.

Whatismore,itwasratherunfortunatethatDr.Battyeshouldappealto HisHolinessthePopeforsupportin hisrathersarcasticreferencetomyextremeyouthandtotheomniscience thatIamsupposedtoclaim.Actually,Iwasexplainingtheteachingofa seriesofPopesonthesubjectofMasonry,andmycommentswere,forthe mostpart,agooddeallesstrenchant thantheirs.And,despiteDr.Battve's gracioustributetotheHolyFather, andhisinferencethatthePapacyis becomingmoreliberalinthismatter, thereisnottheslightestindicationthat 'hePapallvtnontheEnglishCraftis likelytobelifted.

Dr.Battyecontinues:"Butwhilst theattitudeofanyChurchtowards Freemasonrymaynotconcernus,or incidentallygiveusanycauseforuneasiness,therewerecertainphasesin thatbroadcastthatcallforreference."

A.:Apparentlythereseemstohave beensomecauseforconcernanduneasiness-elsewhyshouldtheGrand Masterappearsoanxioustoreassure membersoftheCraftthatMasonsare religious"inthesensethattheybelieveinaPersonalGod,andhave givenadherencetothesamehighprinciplesandtenetsastheChurchgen- erally."Maybe,butitcanhardlybe seriouslyclaimedthataGrandArchitectoftheUniversenecessarilymeans thesamethingastheChristianconceptofaPersonalGod,muchlessthat itimpliesbeliefinaTriuneGod,much lessbeliefintheDivinityofJesus Christ.

DoesitnotconcernFreemasonry, orcausesinceremembersoftheCraft anyuneasiness,thatnotonlyshould CatholicsthroughouttheworldbeforbiddentojointheLodge,butthatthe freePresbyterianChurchofScotland in1927shouldmakeabstentionfrom theLodgeacoalitionofitsownmembership;thatinthesameyearthe WesleyanConferenceinEngland shoulddeclarethattheChristianmessage"iswhollyincompatiblewiththe claimsofFreemasons";andthateven GeneralBoothshouldforbidofficersof theSalvationArmytojointheMasonic Lodge?

Finally,theGrandMastersuggeststhatmy"knowledgeofFreemasonry 4 stemstohavebeenderivedentirely fromwhatIhavereadoftheGrand OrientofFrance."ThatIam,to quotehiswords,"obliviousorignorant ofthefactthatallEnglish-speaking' andmanyforeignGrandLcdges,donotregardtheGrandOrientastrue Freemasonry,fortheverysimplereasonthatitexcludestheBiblefromits LodgeCeremonies.Itisasimplereason,butitsweepsawaythefoundationsoftheremarksthatweremade."

A.:Yes,itisquitetruethatwhen theFrenchGrandOrient,inSeptem- ber,1878,erasedfromtheirConstitutionstheparagraphsreferringtothe existenceofGod,theBritishandIrish Masonsdisapprovedoftheiraction,and passedamotionrequiringfromvisitingbrethrenbelongingtotheFrench GrandOrientanexplicitprofessionof beliefinthe"GrandArchitectofthe Universe"asaconditionofadmission intotheirLodges.Butthisdisapprovalwassoveryvagueandequivocal astobedevoidofallrealeffect,andit rtainlvdidnotrepresenttheseveranceoffraternalrelations.

Andthebestevidenceofthisisto hefoundintheremarksofHisMajestytheKing,wheninstallingthe EarlofHarewoodasGrandMasterof theUnitedLodgeofEnglandinJune ofthisyear.TheKingwasreported assayingthat"manyofourLodges situatedincountriesatpresentoccupiedbytheenemy willhavetobe re-established themotherGrand LodgewillgladlyofferitshelptorestoretheCraft...."

InspiteofDr.Battve'sprotestations, therefore,itwouldseemfromHisMajesty'sremarksthatthereexistsavery realsolidaritybetweenEnglishand ContinentalFreemasonry.

Iamafraidthat,inthelightof whatIhavejustsaid,the"simplereason"withwhichtheGrandMaster dismissedtheconsideredobjectionsof theCatholicChurchandofotherreligiousbodiestoFreemasonry,wasjust alittletoosimpletobeconvincing.At best,Dr.Battye'sexpositioncanbe claimedtoshowthatMasonryisnen-

Q.:"IftheCatholicswerepersecuted byHitler(aswewereledtobelieve), whydidhegivepermissiontothe BishopsofGermanytocalltheirAnnualMeeting'theAnnualMeetingof theBishopsofGreaterGermany?' This,ofcourse,wasAFTERthefall ofFrance."

A.:Asyousay,theCatholicBishops ofGreaterGermanyhavesofarbeen freetoconducttheirannualmeetings atFulda,butatthesametimethousandsofCatholicschoolshavebeen closed,hundredsofmonasterieshave beenconfiscated,churcheshavebeen puttoprofaneuses,Catholicassociationsandorganisationshavebeensuppressed,theCatholicpresshasbeen silenrd,andifallthisdoesnotconstitutepersecution,whatdoes?Also,I don'tquitegetyourpointinrepeating andunderlining"afterthefallof France."TheonlyinterpretationI couldputonthat,ifitweretrue, wouldbethatthePopewasafraidthat theAllieswouldnotwin,andTHAT wouldmilitateagainstratherthan FORyourargument!

Q.:"Christsaid,'Father,forgivethem, fortheyknownotwhattheydo.'Is thisthedivinespiritunderlyingthe excommunicationservice?"

A.:Excommunicationisamedicinal punishment.Consequentlyitissenselesstoapplyitifthereisnohopeof conversion;insuchacaseratherthan encouragerepentance,itisonlylikely toleaveamanmoresouredandbitter tl.anbefore.This,neidentally,isthe reasonwhyIsaidamomentagothat theformalexcommunicationofHitler wouldonlydomoreharmthangood.
