Did you know that Freemason membership is grounds for excommunication by the Catholic Church?

I HEARD that is no longer true.

There has been at least 1 Catholic in almost every meeting I've attended.

Isn't the KCs an off shoot of the Freemasons? I'll have to Google that.

My Brother-in-law and many of my friends are in the KCs. They get to wear bigger fancier hats than the Shriners.

Used to be and it wasn't so much the Masons as it was that you couldn't belong to a secret organization.
