Why are Catholics forbidden to join the Freemasons?
As an atheist, I’m not allowed to join the Freemasons (because Freemasons require a belief in a higher power). That’s fine, I have no interest.
But why are the Catholics, who obviously do believe in a higher power, so opposed to members joining the Masons?
