Found on Dr Peter Kwasniewski's Facebook page.
Although Francis is said to dislike Freemasonry (based on his anti-bourgeois, Peronist views developed in Argentina), on his watch the Church's position has become murky and is moving to a de facto acceptance of some forms of it. Here is a remarkable letter from 5 years ago, in which a cleric in Australia, writing on official bishops' conference letterhead. tells a Freemason that there's no problem with Catholics belonging to some segment of Freemasonry as long as it's not an anti-Catholic segment. This is completely contrary to the CDF's ruling under Ratzinger.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
