On a serious note, one must believe in a supreme being to join. Nothing goes on in a Lodge meeting or Masonry that would interfere with your obligations to God or your family.

Charity is the chief goal.

Once you reach a certain point, you can join Shriners. They are probably the utmost charity organization in the world outside St. Jude's and many Lodges contribute to both Shriners and St. Jude's.

I know many Catholic Masons, Jewish Masons.

The cloak and dagger crap you read, the conspiracy crap, all fake news.

If you're interested, find a local Mason in your city and talk to him.

I’ve been approached twice - politely declined both times and it was as if I committed a personal affront to to these guys.

I thought the masons were some sort of secret gay butt sex thing.

Our boy scout troop is chartered through the masons.

Great group. Nothing cultish about it. They have traditions. But the service to the community and respect for one another makes them a great group.

A Catholic who is a proper Catholic, will refuse joining. You speak of tepid (not cognisant of their teachings, but mean well) or ignorant Catholics. You're full of shite.

It's not of our faith. It's gaining something, based upon subterfuge, not pure.

I agree, but one could say the same thing about papal aristocracy/Vatican, both are at their roots incredibly secretive.

What would you say to someone who is considering trying to join but is hesitant? Also what is the drive that keeps people coming back and putting in the years into the group?

The Freemasons haven’t been relevant in century. Mostly a bunch of losers these days, and no sort of political power like they once had
