tdf016 - Masonry and Religion (13 Feb 2006)

Freemasonry has never looked for detractors. Enemies of the organization have included the Roman Catholic Church, the Communist Party, the Nazis, and the religious right. It has been denounced by popes and kings, by the ignorant and by those who felt threatened by the fraternity's reputation for secrecy. Unfortunately, because it has a long history of never answering critics, Freemasonry makes a wonderful target for bigotry.
