From what I know of George Washington he was a Freemason but he was not hostile to Catholics
George Washington may have been a good diplomat, in terms of his 'concern' for Catholic soldiers RE: Guy Fawkes Day, but he was CERTAINLY hostile to Catholics by virtue of his MEMBERSHIP in Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ at all.
Thomas Jefferson was another God-hating heretic who believed that HE, himself, was able to determine what rightly belonged in Scripture and what didn't.
Whenever you read or hear of the Prots of today claiming that the Founding Fathers were 'Christians', you're looking at a spin like a cyclone. The Founding Fathers were NOT Christians; some were Deists and denied Christ's Divine Humanity, some were universalists who denied the necessity of the One Faith, and still others were 'rationalists', which is a fancy way to say atheistic infidels.
Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ is a cult that is bent on eradicating the Church and Her influence from the world. It is EXPLICITLY and TOTALLY CONDEMNED as something NO Catholic should ever have anything to do with.
There is a VERY large 'flea market' sale in my hometown twice a year at a local Freemason lodge; though I LOVE rummage sales, etc, I refuse to even attend their sales because I cannot spend dollar number one to support an organization the very existence of which is an affront to Christ's Church.
Don't kid yourselves: the Founding Fathers were steeped in paganism and their ideas of so-called 'religious liberty' in our new nation were in direct opposition to the authority of Holy Church, let alone all the pretend heretical sects that were fighting for ascendancy in Europe at that time.
St. Anthony of Padua, hammer of heretics, terror of Hell, pray for us.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
