Freemasonry, Christianity, and Religious Hostility

WITH its usual discernment of the true issue, the Index says:—

The probable reason why Catholics and Protestants are equally hostile to Freemasonry is to be found in the fact that the latter is a purely Theistic institution in which Christianity has no more rights than Judaism, or Mohammedanism, or simple Deism. But Christianity can never be comfortable unless it rules. “Hence those tears.”

Exactly so. And the Index clearly sees what many religious papers cannot see or dare not say, that membership in such an institution is inconsistent with Christianity.—Christian Statesman.
