A few weeks ago, Cardinal Coccopalmerio (yes, him!) took part in a Masonic conference between three Italian Masonic lodges. Now he's jibber-jabbering about "permanent dialog" between the Church and the Masons. The Church has always condemned Freemasonry, owing to the latter's various idolatries and general animus against the Catholic Church and the One True Faith that she possesses and preaches.
Nothing, NOTHING has changed. Recall that at the Second Vatican Council, it was Archbishop Bugnini, secretly a Mason, who engineered the butchery of the Mass and other Sacraments, resulting in the extremely compromised Sacramental rites that we have today.
Because of the drug-orgy in which his officials engaged six years ago, the cardinal has earned the nickname "Cocaine Cocco". Anyway, he was not the only prelate at that Masonic conference. Bishop Antonio Stagliano, president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, was also present. He came out of that meeting stating that Catholicism and Freemasonry are absolutely incompatible. He stated that masonry is aligned with the Arian heresy, for they held that Christ is nothing more than a "great architect of the universe". They deny Jesus' divinity.
However, Stagliano engaged in some verbal gymnastics, using thinking that is the basis for Fiducia Supplicans. You see, one does not bless Freemasonry, but individual Masons can be blessed. That is that little workaround, in their eyes.
I've written of the dangers of Freemasonry in the past. Msgr Charles Pope, a local priest who is involved with deliverance ministry, warns of the spiritual dangers that come with fraternizing with Freemasonry. The spiritual dangers stem in large part from masonic curses, rendering one vulnerable to demonic activity. Several exorcists speak of cases of demonic possession or obsession that stem from masonic curses, some going back many generations in one's family.
Now it seems that Francis wants to mainstream it into the Church, just as he's trying to do with "gay blessings", adulterers coming to Holy Communion, etc.
