FREEMASONRY

It is evident that in a general way, this doctrine of Freemasonry is not only a heresy, nor even the totality of all heresies, which find in it a haven; it is a fact that Masonry goes beyond the limits of what constitutes what is generally ascribed to the word heresy, for it allows full play to the commission of outrageous perversion. Freemasonry is indeed the abyss of all errors, the well of perdition.

Monseigneur Gay

There exists in the world a certain number of sects which although seemingly different one from another as to name, ritual, form and origin are, however, similar due to the analogy of their aim and chief principles. Indeed, they are identical to Freemasonry which is, for them all, the central point from which they proceed and toward which they converge.

Pope Leo XIII

Let us remember that Christianity and Freemasonry are essentially incompatible, to such an extent, That to become united with one means being divorced from the other. Let us, therefore, expose Freemasonry as the enemy of God, of the Church and of our Motherland.

Pope Leo XIII

It is necessary to fight Freemasonry with those weapons of divine faith which in past ages vanquished paganism.

Pope Leo XIII
