Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]
It's a grey area.
Nothing grey about it. The Declaration on Masonic Associations by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith says clearly:
"The faithful who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion".
many of the brothers and sisters in Poland are of course RC and observant
They are, therefore, in a state of grave sin and on the road to eternal perdition.
What reason is that, according to you?
I agree with the reasons that the Church gives:
1. Relativism - Freemasonry promotes a religious relativism that conflicts with the Church's claim to possess the fullness of truth.
2. Secret rituals and oaths - Seen as incompatible with Christian truth and transparency.
3. Naturalism - Freemasonry often emphasizes human reason over divine revelation.
4. Historical opposition - Many Masonic lodges have historically opposed the Church and promoted secularism.
In other words, freemasonry is incompatible with Catholicism.
