My interest in masonry was piqued by the quality of the people who persecuted them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Masonry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Masonry Whatever those people don't like, I'd say sign me up. Masonry has its own issues, but people who have a problem with good men knowing each other are pretty consistent and self explanatory everywhere you go. The papal bull against masonry was mostly a canard, and oddly ridiculous to reassert it in this day and age. Find younger masons and talk to them, and you will find some of the sharpest and kindest guys around. Like many, I heartily welcome this pope's admonishment.
