At the last minute the Vatican saved face – but not honor – by taking, for the second time in a few months, a harsh position against Freemasonry and judging it “irreconcilable” with the Catholic Church and the Christianity that it is responsible for spreading and defend against heresies.
The article published by Vatican News on February 24, 2024 (however in Italian only), can be read at the end of this long but indispensable introduction…
Due to temporary difficulties in managing the newspaper Gospa News, we were not quick to join other Catholic-inspired sites such as the Italian online newspaper Nuova Bussola Quotidiana which rightly denounced the disgrace of a Masonic summit with cardinals and purple miters of the Vatican.
For those who missed one of the most abominable events committed by high prelates unworthy of representing the Church (as the Mystical Body of Christ and the People of God), let’s make a brief summary starting from the article by Riccardo Cascioli, director of the NBQ (link inside Italian version here):
«The dialogue, and also the collaboration, between the Church and Freemasonry must continue, perhaps with a “permanent table” as hoped for by Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio; but it is even more interesting to know that the meaning of the dialogue lies in the fact that the Catholic Church must change, it must recognize that it has made a mistake in its judgment on Freemasonry and therefore remove the stigma that prevents the many Catholic Freemasons from approaching communion».
«This is the gist of the “historic meeting” organized by the GRIS (Socio-Religious Research and Information Group – ed.) – with a selected audience and closed to the press – which took place last Friday, 16 February, in Milan with the presence of qualified representatives of the Church and Freemasonry: on the one hand the three Grand Masters of the three Italian lodges – Stefano Bisi for the Grand Orient of Italy (GOI), Luciano Romoli for the Grand Lodge of Italy of the ALAM (GLDI) and Fabio Venzi (linked from Rome) for the Regular Grand Lodge of Italy (GLRI) -, on the other the archbishop of Milan Mario Delpini, the aforementioned cardinal Coccopalmerio, the Franciscan theologian Zbigniew Suchecki and above all the bishop Antonio Staglianò (in the photo below together with the Grand Maestro Bisi), president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology and true star of the afternoon, according to what was reported to Bussola by some present».
Freemasonry’s Bloody Attacks on the Catholic Church
Gospa News has dedicated 3 specific investigations on the infiltration of Freemasonry into the Vatican which have even been suspected of being at the origin of the mysterious death of Pope John Paul I, aka Cardinal Albino Luciani, who died prematurely on the 33rd day of his Pontificate for a alleged but never proven poisoning…
Obviously, every unilateral and aggressive act of the hooded men against Christians – or against ecclesiastical authorities – is never discussed during these murky philosophical assemblies in which the same Catholic theologians who denounce the irreconcilability of Masonic apostasy with the creed taught by Jesus Christ in the Gospel they seem to want to experience the “thrill” of finding a plea bargain in the antipodal aporia between the devil and the holy water…
The “occult powers” at the basis of the atheistic, deistic (as opposed to the theism of the only revealed Almighty God of the Judeo-Christian religion) and even satanic beliefs with which the various Masonic lodges openly enemies of Christianity and in particular of Catholic Church (the rules of the official Freemasonry of the Grand Lodge of London were in fact written by an Anglican Protestant pastor) hover more and more in the Holy See and around the most naive Bishop of Rome in Apostolic history, as supported by the Texan bishop Joseph Edward Strickland, removed from the Diocese of Tyler by Pope Francis for mysterious reasons.
His Holiness, however, not only did not take any action against Cardinals Delpini and Coccopalmerio, but he did not even bother to utter a word about that embarrassing meeting which appears like a genuflection to Lucifer, in memory of the Hymn to Satan composed by the Freemason poet Giosuè Carducci who was among the most fervent supporters of the Risorgimento as a weapon for the destruction of papal power culminating in the Breach of Porta Pia in 1870 and in the subsequent Excommunication of Freemasonry promulgated by Pope Leo XIII in the Encyclical Humanus Genus in which in fact the profile of the New World Order conceived by the “pope” of American Freemasonry Albert Pike – and made current by the writings of George Soros and the ideological progressivism of Bill Gates – has already been outlined.
We invite fans of social philosophy to read Cascioli’s article on the report of the meeting while we pause to cite another crucial illuminating passage on the speech of the president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology.
«And it was therefore up to Monsignor Staglianò to take the stage, and much more time than expected, laying the foundations for the future: as planned he should have explained the reasons for the irreconcilability between the Church and Freemasonry, in reality he made a long speech- show by tearing apart the doctrinal approach on the Catholic side and ultimately meeting the needs of the Freemason exponents. It is interesting to note that Staglianò always makes a point of showing himself to be inexperienced in the matter and therefore present only to bear witness to his faith. In reality, not only has he already participated in at least one such meeting in 2017 when he was bishop of Noto, in Sicily, but upon his arrival in the meeting room he showed that he was very familiar with various Masonic exponents. And it may be a coincidence, but his episcopal cross was moved (hidden?) to the inside left breast pocket, not visible to the public (as seen in the photos): a strange way of giving testimony»
The words of the president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology during the symposium must have seemed lax and foolish if Vatican News, today, decided to relaunch the concepts on the irreconcilability of Christianity with Freemasonry which wants to destroy it…
As he did by inciting the Jacobin Sansculottes during the French Revolution against the Catholic aristocrats of the Vendée, as he did by financing the Masonic terrorist Giuseppe Garibaldi who had as his mandate the destruction of the Papal State but was stopped by his own instigators through the intervention of King Vittorio Emanuele II.
The Savoy Sovereign himself, however, defied Divine Providence which, through Don Giovanni Bosco, had warned him of the danger he would run by signing the law for the abolition of Christian orders as desired by the Parliament led by the Risorgimento Freemasons. The curses on family deaths were inexorably fulfilled and the king died at just 57 years of age from a fatal fever…
Now Monsignor Staglianò reiterates its irreconcilability despite his adhesion to the “socio-religious” summit with the Freemasons and despite the enthusiasm with which other bishops have their photo taken with the Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy who every year celebrates the anniversary of Breach of Porta Pia as a great success of ARMED Freemasonry against the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church.
The meeting can be compared to that of an exorcist who genuflects before Satan to grasp his possible good motivations…
To refined readers of geopolitics these formal theological sentences appear like the official condemnations of ISIS made by the US Pentagon which used and armed it for the Arab Springs in Iraq and Syria.
If you don’t believe Gospa News, trust the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) who defeated the Islamic State, considering their caliph Al Baghdadi an agent of the most powerful counter-intelligence in the world: the American CIA and the Israeli Mossad…
Forgive the paroxysmal example but we could think of nothing more appropriate to describe this subjection to a dialectical comparison which, if the foundations on irreconcilability were truly considered binding, should never have existed yesterday or ever!
As Pope Leo XIII well stated in his encyclical of excommunication:
«Although we nevertheless find it convenient for Our ministry to point out to you some of the most appropriate means, the first thing to do is to remove the false appearance from the Masonic sect, and make it its own, teaching with the voice, and also with Pastoral Letters, the people, what are the devices of these societies to cajole and entice; such as the perversity of doctrines and the dishonesty of works. As Our Predecessors declared several times, anyone who holds the Catholic profession and their health dear should never flatter themselves that they can, without guilt, join the Masonic sect for any reason».

Church and Freemasonry, Staglianò: “This is why they are profoundly irreconcilable”
by Vatican News – published in Italian edition only – translation by Gospa News
Each link to previous Gospa News articles was added subsequently
“The Masonic heresy is fundamentally aligned with the Arian heresy.” The president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology returns to clearly explain to the Vatican media the irreconcilability between the Catholic Church and Freemasonry. “After all – says Monsignor Antonio Staglianò – it was Arius himself who imagined that Jesus was a Great Architect of the Universe (as Freemasonry considers the Supreme Being, ed.) denying the divinity of Christ. This is why the Council of Nicaea, whose 1700th anniversary we will soon celebrate, forcefully affirms the truth about Jesus who is begotten and not created, God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God”.
God and not the ‘Great Architect of the Universe’
And precisely the idea of the “Architect of the Universe” or the great “Watchmaker” advocated by Freemasonry is incompatible with the Catholic idea of God. “Because – Staglianò goes into detail – this idea is the fruit of human reason that tries to imagine a god while the God of Catholics is the fruit of the very Revelation of God in Christ Jesus. In essence, it is the fruit of a historical event in which God became flesh, approached men, spoke to all human beings, destining them for his salvation”
Sidereal distances
Even the concept of brotherhood expressed by Freemasonry is light years away from the concept of brotherhood of the Catholic faith. Monsignor Staglianò maintains that “our fraternity is established on the sacrament of God’s love in Jesus, it is established on the Eucharist, not just on the generic idea of being brothers”. The same reasoning, adds the prelate, can be applied to Christian charity which “has nothing to do with Masonic philanthropy. Christian charity corresponds to the historical event of a God who died and rose again for us and asks his children not only to be philanthropic but to be, possibly, crucified for love”.
The Christian loves the true Light
The president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology highlights the total incompatibility between being Catholic and joining Freemasonry by underlining that “within Freemasonry plots of occult power develop which are in contradiction with Christian action. In short, when we talk about irreconcilability we are referring to profound contradictions. We cannot even appeal to the polar opposition of the theologian Romano Guardini to say that they can be together.”
Mystery versus esotericism
Another important point of distance is esotericism – made up of spiritual doctrines that are often secret and reserved for initiates – which permeates Masonic teachings. “Even in Catholicism – specifies Monsignor Staglianò – we talk about Mystery. But the Gospels tell us that the Mystery hidden over the centuries does not stop being Mystery but stops being hidden. Because the Mystery hidden throughout the centuries has been revealed.”
The constant condemnation of the Church
Retracing the constant condemnation of Freemasonry by the Church over the centuries, Monsignor Staglianò is keen to recall the latest response to a bishop from the Philippines of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith dated 13 November 2023 and approved by Pope Francis with which it is reiterated that active membership remains prohibited: “The faithful – he concludes – who join the lodges are in a state of grave sin and absolutely cannot access Communion”.

Vatican Sees No Impediment to Dialogue With Freemasonry
Some days, I just want to sit and stare off into space. Maybe imagine myself on a tropical beach somewhere, far from the Internet. Far from stories like this one, about a letter written by Gianfranco Cardinal Ravasi, President of the Pontifical Council for Culture…to “Brother Masons”:
IL SOLE 24ORE
Sunday, February 14, 2016
[Excerpts]
“…These various declarations on the incompatibility of the two memberships in the Church or in Freemasonry, do not impede, however, dialogue, as is explicitly stated in the German Bishops’ document that had already listed the specific areas of discussion, such as the communitarian dimension, works of charity, the fight against materialism, human dignity and knowledge of each other.
“Further, we need to rise above that stance from certain Catholic integralist spheres, which – in order to hit out at some exponents even in the Church’s hierarchy who displease them – have recourse to accusing them apodictically of being members of Freemasonry. In conclusion, as the German Bishops wrote, we need to go beyond reciprocal “hostility, insults and prejudices” since “in comparison to past centuries the tone and way of manifesting [our]differences has improved and changed” even if they [the differences] still remain in a clearly defined way.”
[Translation: Contributor Francesca Romana | Source: Il Timone]
Now, I know that many of you are well-versed on the longstanding conflict between Freemasonry and the Church. It’s not a topic I enjoy touching on too frequently, because good heavens does it lead to all kinds of weird commentary.
But Freemasonry is a real secret society. It is also true that Freemasonry has long been condemned by the Church as a sworn enemy of Catholicism. We explored this topic in some depth in our three-part series, Revolution in Tiara and Cope.
The Church forbids Catholics from being Freemasons, full stop. It has done so for centuries. Here’s what Pope Leo XIII wrote about Freemasonry in his 1884 encyclical on the topic, Humanum Genus:
At so urgent a crisis, when so fierce and so pressing an onslaught is made upon the Christian name, it is Our office to point out the danger, to mark who are the adversaries, and to the best of Our power to make head against their plans and devices, that those may not perish whose salvation is committed to Us, and that the kingdom of Jesus Christ entrusted to Our charge may not stand and remain whole, but may be enlarged by an ever-increasing growth throughout the world.
The Roman Pontiffs Our predecessors, in their incessant watchfulness over the safety of the Christian people, were prompt in detecting the presence and the purpose of this capital enemy immediately it sprang into the light instead of hiding as a dark conspiracy; and, moreover, they took occasion with true foresight to give, as it were on their guard, and not allow themselves to be caught by the devices and snares laid out to deceive them.
The first warning of the danger was given by Clement XII in the year 1738,[3] and his constitution was confirmed and renewed by Benedict XIV.[4] Pius VII followed the same path;[5] and Leo XII, by his apostolic constitution, Quo Graviora,[6] put together the acts and decrees of former Pontiffs on this subject, and ratified and confirmed them forever. In the same sense spoke Pius VIII,[7] Gregory XVI,[8] and, many times over, Pius IX.[9]
For as soon as the constitution and the spirit of the masonic sect were clearly discovered by manifest signs of its actions, by the investigation of its causes, by publication of its laws, and of its rites and commentaries, with the addition often of the personal testimony of those who were in the secret, this apostolic see denounced the sect of the Freemasons, and publicly declared its constitution, as contrary to law and right, to be pernicious no less to Christendom than to the State; and it forbade any one to enter the society, under the penalties which the Church is wont to inflict upon exceptionally guilty persons.
With me so far? Pope Leo called the rise of Freemasonry an “urgent crisis”, called Freemasonry a “dark conspiracy”, listed six popes who had addressed it, not including himself. He made clear that his pontificate denounced Freemasonry in no uncertain terms, and levied heavy penalties against those members of the faithful who would enter into it.
It’s a long encyclical, and I’m only quoting highights, but here is one that can’t go without mention:
[T]heir ultimate purpose forces itself into view — namely, the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.
An analysis of the political aims of Freemasonry follows, but that’s not my purpose here. Suffice to say, this encyclical is packed with ideas that will prick the American conscience, especially in an election year. But let me give you one last blast from good Pope Leo:
Knowing these things, both princes and people would act with political wisdom, and according to the needs of general safety, if, instead of joining with Freemasons to destroy the Church, they joined with the Church in repelling their attacks.
Whatever the future may be, in this grave and widespread evil it is Our duty, venerable brethren, to endeavor to find a remedy. And because We know that Our best and firmest hope of a remedy is in the power of that divine religion which the Freemasons hate in proportion to their fear of it, We think it to be of chief importance to call that most saving power to Our aid against the common enemy. Therefore, whatsoever the Roman Pontiffs Our predecessors have decreed for the purpose of opposing the undertakings and endeavors of the masonic sect, and whatsoever they have enacted to enter or withdraw men from societies of this kind, We ratify and confirm it all by our apostolic authority: and trusting greatly to the good will of Christians, We pray and beseech each one, for the sake of his eternal salvation, to be most conscientiously careful not in the least to depart from what the apostolic see has commanded in this matter.
We pray and beseech you, venerable brethren, to join your efforts with Ours, and earnestly to strive for the extirpation of this foul plague, which is creeping through the veins of the body politic. You have to defend the glory of God and the salvation of your neighbor; and with the object of your strife before you, neither courage nor strength will be wanting.
In case you’re wondering, yes, the rules against Catholics having anything to do with Freemasonry are still in force, if rarely mentioned.
So. You just read a summation of authoritative, Magisterial thought on this issue – thought compiled from the writings of seven popes.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m pretty sure the the exhortation for Catholics to earnestly “strive for the extirpation of this foul plague” is not just fancy 19th-century papal talk for dialogue.
