Cults

Freemasonry is presented as a philosophical orientation organization, but actually has the characteristics of a religion: the cult is led to the "Great Architect of the Universe", which makes its own doctrines, for example on the way of salvation and retribution after death. He has his own moral code, temples, altars, hierarchy, initiation rites and funeral rites, ritual clothing, holidays, and proper prayers.

Masonic philosophy enhances the ability of the mind and logic without taking into account the need for the grace and mercy of God our fulfillment and salvation. It ignores the reality of sin. Therefore does not consider the effectiveness of the Cross or the life in the Holy Spirit that Christians receive in the Church.

The doctrines of Masonry contradict the Catholic faith and the Church that said you can not be Catholic and a Mason. because both are essentially contradictory. At the same time clarified that although we reject the errors of Freemasonry, no animosity against the Masons keep. The love of Christ compels us to love everyone. That same love demands that we speak the truth that leads to salvation.

Many Masons know the ideology of their own organization. There are two reasons for this: First, the Masons have many degrees and the secrets of the higher grades are unknown to the bottom. Second, it seems that some modern lodges have chosen to stay out of the ideology of the organization.
