[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Google "Masons Catholic Church" if you would like to learn more about their beliefs, rituals, history, and intent.

It is true that Catholics cannot join, because it is an anti-Catholic institution.[/quote]

I grew up Catholic and now I am an anti-Catholic household. Maybe OP would ban her DH from working or being friends with me. Really, the Catholic Church was built on lies, scandal, stealing, whore houses, and so on. If you are going to scandalize the Masons you need to be fair and look at the history of the Catholic Church. Inquisition? Crusades? Gays? Abortion?

Seriously. Glass houses, people.[/quote]

That sounds rather reductionist, and misguided.

Have you ever read the Catechism?  Perhaps, as an exercise of open-mindedness, you could read it one section at a time, and ask yourself if there is anything that you do not think is true, and if so, why not.

I attended Catholic school grades k-12, including catechism. I also know the history of the Catholic Church, the basis of the Catholic holidays (Sunday, Christmas, Easter), and how corrupt the Church has been through out history. There is no lack of open-mindedness about it. [/quote]

Ok.  But just out of curiosity, do you think the Church was wrong from the start?  I mean, do you think there was no such man as Jesus, or there was, but he just died on a cross, and everything else was made up?  And for all the good that the Church has done, was that all accidental, whereas the bad stuff was deliberate, a conspiracy?

What about early Church history, with the persecution and the martyrs?  Were all those people just fools who fell for a cult?

Because you're right--the Church is either true or false.  You believe it is false.  Where did its falseness begin?[/quote]
