IS FREEMASONRY ANTI-CATHOLIC OR ANTI-SEMITIC?
Emphatically not. Freemasonry promotes a spirit of unity and understanding among all men. It does not discriminate against any religion. Its principles and practices are compatible with any faiths that instill reverence for the deity and tolerance towards one’s fellow man. If anything, Freemasonry complements the philosophies of these faiths. There are many practicing Catholics and Jews who are Freemasons. There are also members who adhere to Oriental faiths.
