  • I Didn't Know That
    I Didn’t Know That (11) (Fraternities1) The 1917 Code of Canon Law declared that for a Catholic to join the Freemasons entailed automatic excommunication - I wonder how many Catholics know that - and that continued to be the case until the new Code was issued in 1983. It didn’t specifically name Freemasonry amongst the secret societies it condemned, which caused some Catholics and Freemasons to think that the ban had been lifted. However Rome then clarified the situation when it issued a declaration stating that the Church continued to judge that the principles of Masonic Associations were irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership of them remained forbidden for Catholics and that anyone who became a Freemason committed a grave (mortal) sin which excluded them from receiving holy communion. So why does the Church have a problem with Freemasonry? A condition for being accepted as a Mason is professing belief in a “Supreme Being” which wouldn’t be a specific declaration of faith in the one true God that we believe in. What it involves is “deism”: a philosophical claim that merely observing the natural world around us is sufficient to reveal the work of a creator, but based on something one experiences and rationalizes for oneself rather than through faith revealed by God. It’s like when people say they believe in a “higher power” which is a rather non-descript statement that doesn’t actually say they believe in God. The Church holds as a sin both voluntary doubt (disregard for, or refusal to hold true, what God has revealed and the Church proposes for belief) and indifferentism (holding the opinion that no one religion or philosophy is superior to another) as these would be contrary to Catholic teaching and a denial of what it is we believe, and so for a Catholic to declare their belief in a “Supreme Being” as understood by Freemasonry would be wrong.

  • The Catenian Association, Or Sometimes Referred to As the Catenians
    The Catenian Association, or sometimes referred to as The Catenians The Catenian Association is an international brotherhood of practising Catholic laymen who meet socially, at least once a month, in local branches, known as Circles. Members refer to each other as 'brother'. This reflects the strength of the mutual support they give to each other and their families, which is based on the shared values of their Catholic belief and practice. In an increasingly secular society, the Association provides a sociable and supporting haven (an oasis of calm) for those facing challenges to their beliefs and moral values in their business, professional and family lives. Through their membership Catenians are helped to enjoy and fulfill their various vocations in life. Firstly as baptised Christians and also in their family as a husband and father; in their chosen profession or workplace; within the civil community and within the church. The Association's name is derived from the Latin 'Catena' (a chain) with the Circles being the links in the chain. The emblem consists of a continuous chain of links surrounding a cross. This symbolizes that our Catholic faith is at the centre of all we do. The Association is not a fund raising agent for the Catholic Church, nor is it a Catholic action group. However, it is a group of active Catholics. On an individual basis, Catenians take an active part in the life of their parishes and many play a leading role in their dioceses and Catholic lay organisations locally and nationally. The Association is non-political though Catenians are prominent in many aspects of public life and service.
