Vatican Reiterates Ban on Catholics Joining Freemasonry

The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has called for a coordinated strategy among bishops in the Philippines to combat the growing membership and sympathy towards Freemasonry in the country. The note emphasized that Freemasonry is fundamentally irreconcilable with the Catholic faith and proposed a two-pronged approach: reiterating the Church's teaching against Freemasonry and implementing a nationwide program of catechesis to educate the people. The Vatican response offered no accommodation to Catholics who have joined Masonic lodges, reminding them that such membership is prohibited under canon law. Freemasonry has been continuously condemned by the Church for promoting religious indifferentism and secularism.

"Catholics Remain Prohibited from Joining Freemasonry, Vatican Doctrine Office Reiterates"

The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) has released a document reaffirming that Catholics are prohibited from becoming Freemasons. The document, signed by Pope Francis and DDF Prefect Cardinal Victor Fernández, was issued in response to a bishop's concern about the increasing number of Catholics in the Philippines participating in Freemasonry. The Vatican calls for a coordinated strategy among bishops to promote catechesis on the irreconcilability between Catholicism and Freemasonry. The document clarifies that these measures also apply to clerics enrolled in Freemasonry and invites bishops to make public statements on the Church's teaching. The Catholic Church's prohibition on Freemasonry dates back to 1738, and the Filipino bishops' conference has consistently maintained the Church's position on the unacceptability of Masonry.

Vatican Reaffirms Ban on Catholics Joining Masonic Lodges

The Vatican has confirmed that Catholics are still forbidden from joining Masonic lodges, reaffirming the incompatibility between the Catholic faith and Freemasonry. In response to a question from a Filipino Bishop, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, with the approval of Pope Francis, emphasized the prohibition and suggested a coordinated strategy involving the Bishops' Conference of the Philippines. The Vatican's stance is based on the irreconcilability between Catholic doctrine and Freemasonry, as stated in a 1983 declaration.
