This article is well worth the read. Masonic principles are relativism, atheism, and gnosticism. When a Mason gets in a position of power, they promote their principles. It is reported that 60% of the members of the European Parliament are Masons. Guess that means we better learn a bit more about them, eh?
On the other hand, in the English-speaking world and in the northern countries, in Turkey, etc., …they are the power.
Thus, for example, the sovereign of the United Kingdom is also the grand master of the United Grand Lodge of England, and of the more than 150 grand lodges — one for every country, and in the United States one for every state. In 1995, in the United Grand Lodge of England there were 750,000 members belonging to 8,000 lodges throughout the world.
Besides this, because of the rule of secrecy, there is no way of knowing for certain where they are active and how far their direct influence extends, and much less do we know the extent of their indirect influence.
Tony Blair’s government sought to institute the obligation that Masons declare their membership in the group, especially if they were functionaries of the state, and above all if they worked in the area of justice or in the police.
The response of 1,400 English judges who voluntarily declared their membership in the Masons is commendable. Evidently there are many more.
…
Nevertheless, even on this terrain, dialogue with the Masons encounters serious difficulties, insofar as Masonic atheism, open or hidden, tends to relegate to the margins religious particularities, that which is not common to all religions and moral codes, and tends to enclose it — like someone under “house arrest” — in the forum of personal conscience and behind Church walls.
In this sense Masonry works to eliminate the socio-cultural trappings of Christianity in traditionally Christian countries — such as for example Nativity scenes or representations of symbols of the Christmas mystery — the star of Bethlehem, the Three Kings, etc.
…
This also explains why Masons tend to consider democracy as an achievement of Masonry and the democratic method — approval by majority vote — as something connatural to Masonry. This democratic method they extend to every reality, including the truth itself, the good, etc.
…
Scary stuff, but hardly new.
John Salza is one of the best authorities on this topic and takes it more seriously than Mr. Shea who lumps it under they cynical “they’re tunneling under your house” tag.
This is short and sweet
