Masonic - Freemason

According to the Catholic Church, you cannot be a Catholic and a Freemason. If you do so, you are in state of MORTAL SIN and cannot receive Holy Communion.

Going to Holy Communion in state of Mortal Sin is a Sacrilege. If you do it willingly and in disobedience of the faith, you may end up loosing your faith (the ultimate excommunication). Read for yourself:

Therefore the Church’s negative judgment in regard to Masonic association remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion.

You may say: Who says so? For in the Catholic Church there are many voices, from the local priest (who has no say whatsoever in doctrinal matters) to the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (which is the sole guardian for the Word of God and His testimony.) Answer: The Declaration of Masonic Associations was issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, presided by Joseph Ratzinger, our current Supreme Pontiff (AKA Pope).

"Jesus is the lodestar of human freedom: without him, freedom loses its focus, for without the knowledge of truth, freedom becomes debased, alienated and reduced to empty caprice. With him, freedom finds itself." Benedict XVI, Address to Participants in the Plenary Assembly of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (10 February 2006): AAS 98 (2006), 255.
