Oh, yes, an important (very important) note:
I have given you some books which detail the pernicious influence of the Masonic sect across Europe, all written by staunch Catholics. Mgr. Dillon's book comments on the Permanent Instruction so I thought I would let you have. I notice, however, you say you already have some knowledge of what the Masonic sect is and why Holy Mother Church condemns it. I suppose you might have read some of the books I gave you. A layman like you or I emphatically needs to know no more than that and to keep a weather eye out for the plots of Masonry.
Good grief, do not go looking up anything actually Masonic - their foul ceremonies or pass-words or devilry. Any interest in 'the occult' is extremely dangerous. Stick to books written by Catholic authors if you must go any deeper than Dillon and Pinay (I can't see why) as any unhealthy interest in this sort of thing must be squashed at once. I never have and never will - I imagine madness or worse lies that way.
Patrick,
What I have been exposed to is encyclical's and some youtube video's by John Salza. I don't know if he is a decent source but I will heed your advice, and wait for you're reply.
Pax,

I don't know Mr. Salza, but you can't go wrong with encyclicals, M. Pinay, Mgr. Dillon - good work by a truly Catholic author. I thought you were thinking of reading up books by Masonic authors. Avoid them like the plague.
The Papal encylicals on Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ are wonderful. Read them all and read them well. Pope Leo himself wanted Mgr. Dillon's lectures which were, I think, first given in public, to be disseminated. The Britons Press did a great service in reprinting that work, as did Catholic voice, so the evil of the Masonic sect and its methods are exposed to all.
We clearly misunderstood each other. Good Catholic books, you won't go far wrong.
