    I would like to know more about the “irreconcilability between Catholic doctrine and Freemasonry.” As someone who grew up Catholic, this makes me want to investigate joining the masons.

      I really don’t understand. I am not a Freemason, but my dad was and I knew many. I did go through the first initiation and decided I didn’t want to continue (just personal choice and didn’t want to commit time to it).

      They espouse belief in a higher being (typically God, but no one asks). There are “secrets”, but these are covered in books you can get at a library. They basically do charity work and it’s a place to belong to - like a frat.

      This ban screams ignorance.
