Freemasons and World Religions

I will have
to hunt down my info about the above picture. I know it is of the late Roman
Catholic
Cardinal
O'Connor in NYC with some of his Freemason buddies, on a red carpet no less.
Here is my
Eastern
Orthodox Freemasons
web page
I add here some links to other web sites I found online, just for
further reference.
(I do not make all the same conclusions they do)
Jews
and Freemasons
tied
together @ the Communist era
Freemasonry
desires union of all World Religions
Mason/Mormon Endowment Comparison
First Five Presidents of Mormonism were Masons
Jehovah Witness - Christian Scientists and Masonry
It is
telling that as the founders of Mormonism and the Jehovah Witnesses were both
brother Freemasons and that we can also see their places of worship being right
next to each other. In this aerial photo we see the Mormon’s on the left half
(the darker parking lot) and their immediate neighbor on the right half being
the Jehovah Witnesses (the lighter parking lot). They are side by side each
other. No big surprise here.

The Roman Catholic Church
Freemason Takeover of the Vatican
Many
give a stirring case that after the Great Schism the Popes were giving their
blessing for the Knights Templar. These men who made fortresses out of stone
grew more and more in antichrist ways. Finally they even went against the Popes
and went away, resurfacing in England as Freemasonry.
At one
stage Catholics were banned from being Freemasons, but the two are no longer
seen as incompatible providing Catholics belong to a British branch of the
Masons.
Critics
believe this is partly due to the influence of members of the Brotherhood
within the Catholic church.
Roman
Catholic Archbishop Emanuel Milingo: “We are now in the last days of
Satan’s reign and he is working overtime through his agents to complete the
takeover of the world. His agents are nothing less than the Freemasons who have
permeated to the very heart of Christ's Church. It is the task of Freemasons to
lull Christians, especially priests, into believing that the devil and his
demons do not exist. Satan plays with priests like toys when they do not
believe in him. After the last war young Freemasons were placed in seminaries
around the world. These agents of satan were waiting for their time to come.
… The Freemason antichrists became priests for this purpose. They aim to
take religious power throughout the world, just as they have taken economic and
political power.” (Powers of Darkness, Powers of Light, Cornwell,
1991).
The Baptist Church
Baptist
leaders have referred to Freemasonry as “an ungodly brotherhood of
satanic darkness”; “there is an inherent incompatibility between
Masonry and the Christian faith”; “there is a great danger that the
Christian Mason may find himself compromising his allegiance to Jesus.”
(The Baptist Union of Scotland, 1965).
Church of England
Archbishop of Canterbury Geoffrey Fisher a Mason
The
Church of England: “A number of very fundamental reasons to question the
compatibility of Freemasonry with Christianity.” (General Synod, London,
1987 ~ where several members of the committee were Masons!)
Lutherans
Lutherans say “Masonry
amounts to idolatry.” (Missouri Synod, 1959).
Billy Graham Association
Jim Shaw, ex-33° Mason
– the highest ranking Freemason to defect
writes about Billy
Graham being at his 33°
initiation ceremony. Huntington
House refused to print his book co-authored
with Tom McKenney unless they
took out Billy Graham's name on pg. 104, and
substituted a general
description. (See The Deadly Deception, p. 104-105.)
Only Freemasons, and those closely tied to them, are allowed to
attend these initiations
Presbyterians
“Masonry
is a religious institution and as such is definitely anti-Christian.”
(Presbyterian General Assembly, Rochester, 1942).
Methodists
(Methodists
have a host of Masons in their ranks, as this quote from their officials
explains)
“Good
Masons make good churchmen. Every clergyman can testify to the truth of this.
They make loyal and sacrificing patriots. Our colonial history supplies the
proof of this assertion. All Masons are not ardent church members but neither
are all church members ardent for the church. Yet the proof is clearly and
abundantly evident that the Masonic fraternity is an influence for good in
personal and community life.
Freemasonry
has always been a friend and ally of religion. Religious people have found a
congenial fellowship within the Lodge and have not been embarrassed by what
takes place there. In many respects, Freemasonry may be called a religious
institution owing its ‘origin and morality to the religious element’.”
The Rev. Bishop Fred Pierce
Corson
Methodist Bishop of
President of the World Methodist
Council
