Is FREEMASONRY Satanic? w/ Jimmy Akin

[@nellyf.3153]

My father is a mason in France, in the ”Grande Loge de France, rite écossais ancien et accepté”. He joined 10 years ago after a friend introduced him. The same friend ended up killing himself a few months after. One day I looked in my father’s library and found the books with the rituals for introduction in the blue lodges (the first three steps before becoming a master mason). It was disturbing. Pictures of tarot cards, Egyptian mythology, lots of mention of the Temple of Salomon. For the master mason level they basically re-enact a murder scene. It’s hard to understand everything because they use lots of code words and **** signs. Throughout their rituals they repeat the phrase “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”. They also always start their ritual by opening the Bible to prologue of St. John’s gospel. I get so upset when I hear Catholics saying Freemasonry is just a club for upper-middle class boomers. No it’s not. It’s a gnostic sect that promises its members they’ll acquire secret knowledge unknown to the rest of mankind. They do a kind of syncretism between Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), Egyptian mythology and Christianity. It teaches them man is the measure of all things while at the same time referring “the Great Architect of the Universe” which is a kind of faceless god. It’s just disturbing. Please pray for my dad, he is a fallen away Catholic.

I'm a former Freemason. I left the fraternity after coming to the faith. I can say with 100% certainty that Freemasonry and it's appendant organizations are not what they seem on the surface. Sadly, because we do not wrestle solely against flesh and blood, many are blind to the true nature of rituals and the fraternity. I continue to pray for all members of the Craft, that they would find the one True Light in Christ Jesus.

[@cwstreeper]

There are many objections that I have... I learned about several issues while I was a Mason. The biggest, at least for me, was sitting in a lodge room composed of all different faiths and uttering the words So More It Be in agreement with the Amen that was offered up to the Grand Architect of the Universe. Perhaps even bigger than that, was understanding that the rituals of the first three symbolic degrees in the Blue Lodge teach a plan of salvation through works. Neither of those things are congruent with true Christianity. I could list more, but this is just the comment section on KZbin.

The problem comes with those who try to follow Christ and hate themselves. By loving their neighbor as themself, while hating themselves, the person hates their neighbor. What results? Lies.

It wasn't until I started going to a more traditional Church that my priest explained to me that if somebody imitates the mass in anyway you should be careful, the priest is also an old polish man who told me I should not take the Eucharist if I continue doing this.

As with many such secret societies, they don't spill the beans to just anyone.

I'm not sure if the speaker was Christian or not; apparently anyone of any religion can join the lodge. As well, a short testimony here: this family friend who passed was a bitter sexist athiest, and his sister shared during the funeral that he spent his last day of life conversing with a female nurse which resulted in him convincing her to start going back to church. He apparently said it was "the happiest day" of his life. This friend overcame his hatred of women and got to become a disciple in his last day of life. It brings me to tears.

I call bullshit. Don't be so gullible. I was not raised Catholic. My father was a Mason but he never really talked about it beyond the fact that he had to go to meetings from time to time. I recall asking him more detailed questions out of curiosity but he would never really answer. When I was in my early 20s, I became a cop like my Dad . One day I told him I was interested in possibly becoming a member. He immediately and forcefully pulled me aside and told me this..."stay as far away from the Masons as you can get and never forget it". He has a look of fear that I had never seen on his face before. He would not speak beyond that. As a young cop, I became close to an old salt Irish Catholic Priest who was our Police Chaplain. He rode with me on many occasions and I treasure our conversations and friendship. We had zero religion in my family and I felt a big emptiness in that respect so I converted and became a Catholic. When my father passed away, I was given his jewelry box. I examined his Masonic ring which he always wore. It looked similar to a Class ring with a green stone. I noticed a glint under the stone so I grabbed a magnifying glass and flashlight for a closer inspection. I shined the light down into the stone and I could the the numbers "33" underneath. I was stunned... my Dad was actually a 33rd Degree Mason. I've heard the Satanic stories too and I never really put much credence into it but when I think back to the obvious fear my Dad had on his face when he demanded I never get involved in the Masons, I came to believe it. I only wonder what he had to do to obtain that degree and I worry where his soul is now.

I personally was a Protestant who did alot of deep research into freemasonry after being invited to join a few times. My grandpaw died a 3rd or 4 degree mason. After years of study in a deep dive. I became convinced they were not only devil worshipping cult. But that they are literally the inverse of Roman Catholicism. They perform several rituals which are literally a black mass mocking the Eucharist. They used coded words which are also a mockery of Mary and Christ. Like the “widows son”. They make their initiates mock the papacy. Many of their plans hidden in plain sight. Written in Latin. (A copy of the Catholic Church). The popes condemned it for centuries and the freemasons declare the Catholic Church (not the Protestant church) to be there enemy. This is why I became Catholic. I realized the devil didn’t consider Protestants to be his enemy. They also wrote for centuries about infultrating the Catholic Church. And obtaining the papacy to render their enemies powerless against the new world order plans and U.N. Goals. If this tells you anything. The U.N. Continues building the new world order with the popes approval. Popes do nothing but encourage the new world order. (Modern popes anyway). Freemasons knew they would have to control the chair of Peter in order to accomplish their goals. Because the popes could rally over a billion people to stop their plans. one last note. Several popes since the 60’s have said in the meetings at the U.N. That the U.N. (Not the papacy of the church) is the world’s hope for unity and world peace.

I would say it depends. Freemasonary is a box full of bricks and you have full freedom. There are a lot of other societies that have their origin in freemasonary, that are clearly satanic, like OTO. There are also pseudo-christian organizations, like mormonism and Rosicrucianism, that have origins in freemasonary. You could say Freemasonary is for all the outcasts with weird interests or ideas. And the scotish rite was anti-catholic, because in scotland all the people were catholic so an outcast would be anti-catholic. As an catholic you are not allowed to join, because their believe system is not compatible with ours. Freemasonary might origin from Sinning, but we know to few to confirm, that this is satanic.

[@fortunefair]

16:35 is the spoiler. 17:38 my reaction to jimmy, intentionally withholding the actual conclusion that the elaborate story is a lie for no reason. Akin imitates the same pattern as the Taxil guy himself. He should have said from the beginning that the guy was not legit because there will be people who don't watch the entire hour of his show. I mean that information with all its details gets loaded up into people's minds as we listen to it for 40 minutes so he can say it's not true at the end- this disrupts the rational thought process, which is probably why Taxil did it. I don't see why Akin would do it as well. Not to mention that, since he is saying "use your discernment" is the lesson at the end, he doesn't use any discernment whatsoever for the conclusion. The least likely possible conslusion is to just accept at face value the lying man himself saying he was just doing a light hearted prank for 12 years involving deep cover for him and two other fake defectors to corroborate. This is not a "prank", it's a very sophisticated operation. Akin just glosses over that. I've never seen Akin talk before, but this left me thinking "what the heck is wrong with this guy??"

[@krystallos81]

I think Akin is a bit too charitable on some things. He doesn’t want to outright condemn it so he says this guy just made it all up and it was a prank. That doesn’t make it any better. It really doesn’t prove a point either. If you ask someone who is in the free masons to tell you about all of their levels and information, they won’t. It’s not because they just want you to be curious and join. They literally say they can’t talk about it. That’s the strange part. If it were just about fraternity and certain values that supposedly align with God, then why do they act like they have some knowledge that they won’t share with the world? It just doesn’t sit right.

As a former 3rd degree FM. I do not recall Satan ever being mentioned or worshipped. But I cam see how Satan is allowed to influence.

What? What a joke. Must be a mason himself. What nonsense.

[@Aslaner001]

Yeah, we don't know if he did that to make the whole story look like a joke. If he lied all the while, he could still be lying when he says he was lying. Makes sense to me.

Everyone skip to the last couple minutes, you’ll understand the point no differently. Could’ve had that story and the vague answer wrapped up in about five minutes.

If you have the attention span of a goldfish, then go ahead, but some people appreciate hearing the whole story.

@@jamesshives5679 I was capable of paying attention, so that’s not the problem. Jimmy Akin is just an absolute bore to have move at his own pace. I feel like Matt was even trying to help him to the point and he never does that.

The Masons are not Satanic. It’s so distressing to see how legitimate scholars and theologians like Father Chad Ripperger have bought into this false conspiracy theory.

[@marcj3682]

There are plenty of videos out there now proving they're satanists.

Bp Patrick Lynch also went to speak to the pope about supporting the Confederacy on behalf of CSA President Jefferson Davis. By that time the tide of the war had turned in favor of the north and the pope declined. The diocese of Charleston also issued an apology about Lynche's ownership of slaves. This info is on the Diocese of Charleston website.

Hello, I am a freemason from Peru. With all due respect, the basis for condemning Freemasonry is very weak. Freemasonry is not a sect, because it does not claim to be a religion nor does it promise the salvation of the soul. It is a fraternity that keeps the traditions of the builders of the cathedrals WHO WERE CATHOLIC as can be read in the Old Charges of the medieval guild. The Spanish historian José Antonio Ferrer Benemeli, who is a Jesuit expert in Masonology, was an advisor to the PONTIFICAL COMMISSION OF CANON LAW that reformed the canonical code and he declared that the conservative sector of the Church (only 15) loses the vote (against 30 ) to maintain the excommunication and it is Ratzinger who announces its permanence as a grave sin in an arbitrary and anti-historical manner. The current narrative from a sector of the Church is that the canon condemning Freemasonry was eliminated due to error. A mistake? But why was the text maintained for so many years without express condemnation and there was no reform if it was "a mistake"? The sustentation against freemasonry of Benedict XVI, Cardinal Ratzinger at that time, is very poor, despite his doctorates. In Catholic doctrine, of course the Church has the last word, but REGULAR FREEMASONRY DOES NOT debate religious or political matters, IT IS PROHIBITED. On the contrary, members are urged to maintain the faith they have always had: Freemasonry is practically a social club in which people of different religions can meet WITHOUT SYNCRETISM OF ANY KIND. Freemasonry is neither satanic nor gnostic. Another thing is that there are authors who, due to a particular belief or because they are of another religion, sell books with "mystical" content, but that IS NOT regular FREEMASONRY. The problems with the Church arise because there are many different Freemasonries and not just one. The regular one, the most conservative which is the traditional one and which prohibits interfering with personal faith and political opinion; and the irregular one, which is like the "Jehovah's Witnesses" of the Freemasons... they are not recognized. In the 18th century, the Freemasonry adopted by continental Europe was highly politicized because there were no political parties in which to discuss or debate political ideals, distorting the original purpose of the brotherhood of builders and it was something that the ABSOLUTIST regimes (which the Church supported) did not accept. . Was it not the Church that, getting involved in political issues, condemned the INDEPENDENCES OF SPANISH AMERICA and supported Fernando VII, king of Spain against our countries? Then the Church recanted, of course. Many of these politicized Freemasonries embodied the ideals of the Enlightenment and there were several masons who were revolutionaries, among them those who helped the UNIFICATION OF ITALY and the loss of the Papal States. It is not the first time that the Church, when getting into politics, makes a mistake. Didn't the Church make a mistake about the Templars and this later caused their unjust systematic extermination, even though the Pope knew they were not heretics? Until now, apologies are awaited in favor of these knights who served in the crusades. Here the issue is that a wing of our Catholic Church tries to condemn Freemasonry, without basis, to use false accusations of "gnosticisms" and "naturalisms", when the Church has problems in Germany that it has not known how to face and that has Bishops indirectly defending GENDER IDEOLOGY. The grand lodges of Italy, and the Italian Grand Master who has spoken to a cardinal recently, do not represent all of world Freemasonry. Each country has it's own reality, but the general rules is not to interfere in religious convictions or personal politics. And finally, Freemasonry plots against the Church? No one plots against the Church and that accusation would be absolutely irresponsible because there are governments and dictatorships that have murdered Freemasons by the thousands (like in Spain during Franco's dictatorship), disappearing masons in concentration camps or with firing squads. How is it that a wing in the Church pretends to start a hysteria in the Catholic world that could harm hundreds of catholic Freemasons who are mostly peaceful citizens and who deserve communion? I have more to say, but I will close with this video of an interview of José Antonio Ferrer Benemeli SJ, in Spanish, where he tells his testimony on the Pontifical Commission on Canon Law where he was an advisor (can be translated with AI): www.youtube.com/watch?v =D5C6NiZ5CSA

Hello Brother I'm afraid you walk a lonely road in this KZbin thread. Thank you for sharing!

@@Johnnycam1 well, you answered and that is the right direction.

Please add some paragraphs to this block of text, it's really hard to read. You seem to be confused from the start though so maybe start by opening a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word religion. In the meantime I'll try to read trough your unbroken string of thoughts.

[@juncatv]

@@betrion7 ok it's done. Now, do you have any sustentation on the slanderous comdemnation or NOTHING YET? It's a rethorical question.

[@betrion7]

@@juncatv Jesus died for your sin, and He rose again from the dead. His death is sufficient to pay for your sins if you will put your faith in Him. That's about all the sustenance you need and it is not a rhetorical statement.

I was a Freemason before returning to the Catholic Church-thank the Lord. So, when I hear interviews discussing the true nature of Freemasonry -not this one video in particular-, I'm sometimes left perplexed, I must be honest. While I recognize the Luciferian nature of the organization, my own experience during my years as a Freemason revealed a rather aimless social club of very clueless middle-aged men and elderly. They gathered mostly to gossip about their wives, complain about the government, and feel a false sense of importance. I acknowledge that the organization may be more serious in other parts of the world, but it's difficult for me to reconcile the laughable and poorly organized social club that Freemasonry is in my local area with the notion of a sinister global puppet master plotting to lead the world to ruin. However, let me be clear: the tenets of Masonic ideology are prejudicial in every aspect and conflict with our faith. It was just my experience.

[@neener13wink]

I’m of the opinion that most of the U.S. versions are watered down and, just like the Protestant religions born in the U.S, they bear little resemblance to their beginnings. That doesn’t mean they aren’t harmful to one’s soul.

I'm a former Freemason and agree 100% with your assessment. Most members are blind to the truth about the fraternity. It is what it is. Ignorance, nor spiritual blindness, will be acceptable on the final day of judgement.
