I see that the Pope has renewed a decree forbidding Catholics to join the Masons or affiliated Masonic organizations. I am a Protestant,Mason,and Shriner, and there are quite a few Catholics in my lodges. I will not say more,but that I have no respect for the man.

… tell that ol pope he ain’t nothin without taking up serpents and drinking poison!

.. that’s the real believers right there .. one of the reasons I ain’t too religious lol

King James Bible
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Keep in mind … this was before antivenom and stomach pumpin now !

The pope should obey God laws and no man's.

Savell, that passage is not a commandment or ordination. Instead it is just a few of the things the Holy Spirit can empower a believer to accomplish.

… so that explains Steve Erwin’s motivation

“…..in the days when the keepers of the house shall tremble and the strong men shall bow themselves and the grinders cease because they are few…..”

… that’s definitely a chorus in a metallica song right there … I like it

You’re close.

The Pope has lost all relevance in my mind. When it became publicly known that for decades the Catholic church protected homosexual clergy abusing young men, and obviously continues to do so, it pretty much ended their moral influence. Until the Catholic church allows priests to marry, they will not cease to be a haven for homosexual abusers of children and recover any credibility.

That's interesting. No Catholics in the Masonic lodges down here that I know of; all protestant. They are all Knights of Columbus I think.

Amen

Hahahaha
