There is nothing Christian about Catholicism. It is all Babylonian paganism / Luciferianism wrapped in a Christian cloth. "Arrayed in purple and scarlet". Rev 17:5
The Freemasons are a rival faction of Mystery Babylon, a rebellious "daughter" if you will.
Bill Cooper went into this in depth.
"Everyone agrees that there should be a One World Order. The only thing they disagree on is who will rule it."
It's a big dog eat dog scenario re: Catholic Church vs Freemasons.
>a lot of bad popes
The papacy itself is blasphemous.
Every pope is anti-christ (vicar = in place of)
I need a middle-man to Christ?
I thought Christ was my middle-man to God?
I need to pray to Mary to ask Jesus?
Or I pray directly to God my Father?
I pray to dead saints and to angles?
Don't think so.
I'm warning you to "come out of her my people", in the face of much vitriol might I add. Do your own research, pray, and think for yourself I guess. I'd link you to a book which goes into it in depth but I presume you have your heels dug in and won't even consider it. If that's a bad presumption please let me know anon
