Can Catholics be Masons?

Yes. Catholicism is only mentioned specifically because it has generated a lot of traffic in the past on the Masonic newsgroups. There is no prohibition in any Grand Lodge jurisdiction against Catholics being made Masons. The answer on the Catholic side of the coin is also yes. If you have questions, please contact your local Lodge or Grand Lodge, or your priest. Andrew Fabbro (afabbro@umich.edu) (who is both a Catholic and a Mason) would be happy to discuss this with you at greater length if you need more information. Please bear in mind that discussion of this subject on the Masonic newsgroups invariably generates a very high noise-to-signal ratio.
