Fake Religion: Understanding the Freemasons
- Summary
-
It’s difficult to find a conspiracy theory that doesn’t involve the Freemasons, but how did this secret society start? What are its beliefs? Why has the Church condemned it?
Course Description: In this course, we pull the curtain away from this secret society by looking at its beginning, its bizarre beliefs and practices, and its influence. We will also probe the reasons why the Catholic Church has persistently forbidden Catholics from joining this sect.
Instructor: Gary Michuta
There is no required textbook.
Recommended reading: Freemasonry: Mankind’s Hidden Enemy, by Fr. Charles Madden (ISBN: 9780895558169)
