"Thehereticsabolished frequentCommunion,and theirsternandrigiddoctrinestendedtodiminish confidenceinGod'smercy.

Sir,-HisHolinessPope LeoXIII,publishedhis Encyclical,"Humanum Genus"asfarbackas April20,1884,showing thatFreemasonryiswell knowntotheVatican,and hasbeenforsomeconsiderabletime.HisHoliness said:"Tearoffthemask fromFreemasonryandmake plaintoallwhatitreally is."

RegardingCommunism andFreemasonryHisHolinesssaid:"Foroncethe fearofGodandthereverenceduetoHislawshave beentakenaway, then therewillnecessarilyfollow arevolutionaryupheaval andaperiodofwholesale destructionofexistinginstitutions.

"Acompletechangeand upheavalofthiskindis beingcarefullypreparedby numerousassociationsof CommunistsandSocialists, infact,itistheiropenly avowedaim;andFreemasonryisnotonlynotopposedtotheirplans,but looksuponthemwiththe greatestfavour,asitsleadingprinciplesareidentical withtheirs."

Ihopethatallmembers oftheCraftwhomaybe readingtheselines,will memorisethewords:"Its leadingprinciplesareidenticalwiththeirs."What couldbeplainerthanthat?

Anewsitemtosupport theviewofHisHoliness waspublishedin1949.On Nov.13,1949,aletterappearedinthe"Sunday Times"(England)asking fortheinterventionof Freemasonrytocombat Communism,andthiswas followedonNov.20bythe followingimportantletter:
