THE REASONSOF CATHOLIC OPPOSI- TION TO THE SECT. Mw* Bapaatactiy «•»*«»••«* »y 3LWHH«K -** RMfteltU* Stem •! all CMIMN, rra- taataal and Catholic—Ta« Origia •! **»• MaaaurytoUlspatad. The raising by the Presbyterian so- cieties of the question of the opposi- tion of secret societies to Christianity, leads me to explain the reasons of Catholic opposition to the order of Free Masonry, writes a Catholic priest to the New York Sun- Free Masonry pi jfesses, by means of symbolical language and certain ceremonies of initiation and promo- tion, to lay down a code of morality founded on the brotherhood of human- ity only. Some writers apply the term Free Masonry npt only to the Free Ma« •on pruper, but also to all secret or- ganizations which seek to undermine Christianity and the political and so- cial institutions that nave Christianity lor their basis. The origin of Free Masonry is dis- puted. The Free Masons themselves, in the language of their ritual, assume the order to have begun its existence at the building of Solomon's Temple, but serious Masonic . writers, as well as all writers of repute, declare this to be a conventional fiction. Nor is any more value to be attached to the attempts that are occasionally made to find a link between the pagan mys- teries and Free Masonry. Some writ- ers trace Free Masonry to the, heresies of eastern origin and middle ages in certain parts of Europe, such as those of the Gnostics, Manlcheans and Albig- enses, some of whose tenets are, no doubt, apparent In the sect. The sup- pressed order of the Knlgats of Tem- plars, too, has been taken to hare been a source of the order, and this theory may hare some countenance In the fact that a number of the knights in Scotland illicitly maintained their or- ganization after the suppression, and that it was from Scotland that Free Masonry was brought into France at the beginning of the last century. But It seems more in consonanct with many known historical facts to trace the order to mediaeval guild of stone masons, who were popularly called by the very name ot Free Ma* sons. During the middle aces the va- rious trades were formed, with the ap- probation of the Church, Into guilds or close protective Societies. In gene- ral, no one waa permitted to follow a trade for wages or profit, as appren- tice, journeyman or master, until he had been made free of the guild rep- resenting that trade. Each guild had Its patron saint, and several gunds, IT is certain, had each its peculiar rit- ual, using Its own tools and technical language in a symuoIleal way in the ceremony of initiation and piomotion— that is to say, in entering an appren- tice and at the end or li.s ume declar- ing blm a worthy fellow journeyman or craftsman. The gu..d of Free Ma- sons was singular in this, that it was n.lgratory, its members traveling lin- den, their masters in organized oodles tiirough all parts of Europe, wherever •tnelr services were required in uulld- ing. When first referred to they are icund grouped about the monasU'ixes. socially about those of the Bene die- t...es. The earliest form of initiation used is said to have been suggested by the ritual for the reception of a Bene- dictine novice. |The south of France, where a large Jewish and Saracenic element re- mained, was a hotbed of heresies, and that region was also a favorite one with the guild of masons. ,It is as- serted, too, that as far back as the twelfth century the lodges of the guild enjoyed the special protection of me Knights Templars. It is easy in this may to understand how the symbolical allusions to Solomon and Ids temple might have passed from the knights Into the Masonic formulary. In this way, too, might be explained how, af- ter the suppression of the order of the Temple, some of the recalcitrant knights, maintaining their influence over the Free Masons, would be^able to transform their old ceremony into an elaborate ritual that should impart some of the errors of the Templars to the initiated. A document purporting to be a character granted to a lodge of Free Masons la England and in the time o* Henry VII, seems to bear a likeness to Free Masonry now. In Ger- many the guild was numerous and was formally recognised by a diploma (ranted in 1480 by Emperor Maximil- ian. But the sanction was finally re* voked by the imperial diet fa 1707. So fax, however, the Free Mason* were really working stone masons; hut the so-called Cologne charter—the genuineness of which seems obvious— drawn up r in 15S5 at a reunion of Fre« If asons gathered at Cologne' to cele- brate the opening of the cathedral edi. lice, is signed by Melanetnon, Coligny, and other like names. Nothing certain Is known of the Free Masons—now ev- idently become a sect—during the sev- enteenth century, except that in 164* Blias Ashmole, an Englishman, found* •ad the order of Rose Croix, Roeieru- elans, or Hermetic Free Masons—a so clety which was said to have mingle* alchemy and other occult sciences witi pantheism. This order 'soon becami affiliated, to some of the Masonic lodgei . in Germany, where from the time o; the reformation there was a constant : tot&aing of societies, secret or open i iIP& watch undertook to formulate a philos- ophy or a religion of their own. As ws knew tt now, however, Fro Masonry.first appeared in 1725, whei Lord Derwentwater, a supporter of th» exited Stuart dynasty, introduced th» order into France on the strength o> asserted authority from a lodge at JKil winning, Scotland. This formed tk basis of that variety of Free Masonr* called the Scottish Rite. Rival organ! cations soon sprang up. Character were obtained from, » lodge at Tori which was said to have been of vexj ancient foundation. la 1754 Martins Pasquaiet, - . urtugufcc*. . . Degan tt some of the French lodges the new de- gree of -Cohens," or priests, whiej was afterwards developed inte a sye tern by Saint Martin, £nd is usually re ferred to as 'tFrench Tuamtnlsm." Bui it remained for Adam Welshaupt, pro feasor of canon law at the Universitj of feigolstadt, in Bavaria, to give a de finite shape to the anti-Christian tend ency of Free Masonry, as Catholics re gard them, in 1776, two years aftei the expulsion of the Jesuits from thi university, he brought together a num ber of his pupils and friends and or ganized the order of the Illuminati which he established on the alreadj existing degrees of Free Masonry. Th< avowed object of the Illuminati was ti bring back mankind!—beginning wit) the Illuminated—to the primitive lib berty by destroying religion, by sub- stituting for religion this newest Phil osoonicat invention and by reshapinj ideas of property, society, marriage etc. One of the Iluuniinati, a Sicilian Joseph Balsamo, otherwise Cagllostro organized what he called Caballstl! Free Masonry., under the name of thi Rite of Misralm. He it was who ti 1783 predicted the overthrow of thi French monarchy. Indeed, Free Ma sonry was very active in the Frencl Revolution. In 1781 a great assembly of all thi Masonic rites, held at Wilhelmsbad, » Hanover, under the presMency of th« Duke of Brunswick, ref>.aed to recog- nise Weishaupt's system, but at th« aame time permitted the most un Catholic tenets of IUumlnism to be en- grafted on the higher degrees of Ma sonry, especially of the so-called Bcotcl Rite. About this time the Scotch Rit< was established at Charlestown, ii South Carolina, by some officers of th< French auxiliary army. The rite ha< been introduced Into the United Statst by English colonists. In France the sect was officially rec- ognised by the government of Napol- eon III., but advanced Free Masont bore this unwillingly, as it Involved restraint An avowed belief In God wai required far initiation, but this re- quirement, through the efforts of M Mace of the university was flnallj abolished in the convention of Fret Masons held in Paris. Sept 14, 1877. A recent French writer maintain! that Free Masonry is—unknown to most of the craft—managed by five oi six Jews who bend its influence in every possible way to the furtherance of the anti-Christian movement thai passes under the name of liberalism Throughout Continental Europe, In th« Spanish-American states and in Braxti Free Masonry has of late years agali become very active. The war against the Catholic Church in Germany hai no more bitter supporter than Fret Masonry. If the Kulturkampf was not directed from the lodges, at least near- ly all its leaders were Free Masons. In France and Belgium the lodges have officially commanded their membera to assist the Llgue de l'Enselghnement —A league intended to bring about th« complete secularisation of the primary public schools. •ttt the English-speaking countrtm however, Free Masonry has hitherto protested its respect for government and established society, and it has not had any Immediate action on politics, dts members usually found" as numer. ous in one political party as another. But it has never failed indirectly to UBe Its influence for the advancement of its members over others. English- speaking Free Masons have usually been accustomed to regard the panthe- lsh of the ritual as an amusing mum- mery rather than a "reality. These Fre* Masons usually disown their order an] aims but those of a. convivial mutual benefit society, but Catholics see that fndlfferentlsm in religion is at least one of the necessary results of Eng- lish-speaking Free Masonry at its best and the constant influx into the Eng- lish-speaking countries of Jews and Continental Free Masons must neces- sarily impregnate the order with all the poison of the Continental sect. The Catholic church renounces Fret Masonry as essentially opposed'to th* belief In the personality of God, whose name In the Masonic ritual veils tfatt doctrine of blind force only governing the universe, as also essentially sub- versive of legitimate authority, by pro> feasing to, furnish man aa all-snftV dent guide and thus helping to make him independent of the Church, and because by its everywhere ridiculing rank and authority it tends, in spit* of "its protest of loyalty, to bring all government into contempt. Free Masonry has been rspoatsdlj condemned by leading and retpectabU men of all countries, Protestant and Catholic. Five bulls have been direct. ed against it by name, vis: "In emfe aentl," Clement XII., 1738; "Provida*/ Benedict XIV., 1761; "Eccleslem Jewi Christt," Plus VII., 1821; "Qui grarie* T»," Leo XIII., 1828; "Quanta enta/ Pins IX., 1864; and th* latest an< strongest front Leo XIIL, eatitlsi "Humannaa Gaau*" ^ jm ~ft i" —-f---"ii _ iifli, ji~ • • THE mom T& A TfttJUJHiNQi INCdPEtiT OF flfVOTIQte • a vTO THE MOTHER OF GQfJ. , T a * T-«H* «MKt Vht' f m IttU* BwM •< .

We were all locked down onitt tb« 22nd, when the captain cams down and asked the first mate, the itsvard and the ship's carpenters If they could do nothing more to save the ship, say. irg, as he threw up his hanas:- - "If you can't, in five minutes we will all be in eternity!;*' . » Oh, I shall never forget - the awful cry for mercy that went apl Th* stew- ard'* wife was a Catholle,.and I beg. ged her to ask her husband to take m« on deck.

THE REASONSOF CATHOLIC OPPOSI­TION TO THE SECT.

T h e raising b y the Presbyterian so­cieties of the question of the opposi­tion of secret societies to Christianity, leads me to explain the reasons of Catholic opposition t o t h e order of Free Masonry, writes a Catholic priest to the New York Sun-

Free Masonry pi j fesses , by means of symbolical language and certain ceremonies of initiation and promo­tion, to lay down a code of morality founded on the brotherhood of human­ity only. Some writers apply the term Free Masonry npt only to the Free Ma« •on pruper, but also to a l l secret or­ganizations which seek t o undermine Christianity and the political and so­cial institutions that nave Christianity lor their basis.

T h e origin of Free Masonry i s dis­puted. The Free Masons themselves, in the language of their ritual, assume the order to have begun i t s existence at the building of Solomon's Temple, but serious Masonic . writers, as well as al l writers of repute, declare this to be a conventional fiction. Nor is any more value to be attached to the attempts that are occasionally made to find a link between the pagan mys­teries and Free Masonry. Some writ­ers trace Free Masonry to the, heresies of eastern origin and middle ages in certain parts of Europe, such as those of the Gnostics, Manlcheans and Albig-enses, some of whose tenets are, no doubt, apparent In the sect. The sup­pressed order of the Knlgats of Tem­plars, too, has been taken t o hare been a source of the order, and this theory may hare some countenance In the fact that a number of the knights in Scotland illicitly maintained their or­ganization after the suppression, and that it was from Scotland that Free Masonry was brought into France at the beginning of the last century.

But It seems more in consonanct with many known historical facts to trace the order to mediaeval guild of stone masons, who were popularly called by the very name o t Free Ma* sons. During the middle aces the va­rious trades were formed, wi th the ap­probation of the Church, Into guilds

• or close protective Societies. In gene­ral, no one waa permitted to follow a trade for wages or profit, as appren­tice, journeyman or master, until he had been made free of the guild rep­resenting that trade. Each guild had Its patron saint, and several gunds, IT i s certain, had each its peculiar rit­ual, using Its own tools and technical language in a symuoIleal way in the ceremony of initiation and piomotion— that is to say, in entering an appren­tice and at the end or li.s u m e declar­ing blm a worthy fellow journeyman or craftsman. The gu..d of Free Ma­sons was singular in this, that it was n.lgratory, i t s members traveling lin­den, their masters in organized oodles tiirough all parts of Europe, wherever •tnelr services were required in uulld-ing. When first referred to they are icund grouped about the monasU'ixes. • soc ia l ly about those of the Bene die-t.. .es. The earliest form of initiation used i s said to have been suggested by the ritual for the reception of a Bene­dictine novice.

|The south of France, where a large Jewish and Saracenic element re­mained, was a hotbed of heresies, and that region was also a favorite one with the guild of masons. , I t is as­serted, too, that as far back as the twelfth century the lodges of the guild enjoyed the special protection of me Knights Templars. It is easy in this may t o understand how the symbolical allusions to Solomon and Ids temple might have passed from the knights Into the Masonic formulary. In this way, too, might be explained how, af­ter the suppression of the order of the Temple, some of the recalcitrant knights , maintaining their influence over the Free Masons, would be^able t o transform their old ceremony into an elaborate ritual that should impart some of the errors of t h e Templars to the initiated. A document purporting t o be a character granted to a lodge of Free Masons la England and in the time o * Henry VII, seems t o bear a l ikeness to Free Masonry now. In Ger­many the guild was numerous and was formally recognised b y a diploma (ranted in 1480 b y Emperor Maximil­ian. But t h e sanction was finally re* voked by the imperial diet f a 1707.

So fax, however, the Free Mason* were really working stone masons; hut t h e so-called Cologne charter—the genuineness of which seems obvious— drawn uprin 15S5 a t a reunion of Fre« If asons gathered a t Cologne' to cele­brate the opening o f the cathedral edi. lice, i s signed by Melanetnon, Coligny, and other l ike names. Nothing certain Is known of the Free Masons—now ev­idently become a sect—during the sev­enteenth century, except that in 164* B l i a s Ashmole, an Englishman, found* •ad the order of Rose Croix, Roeieru-elans, or Hermetic Free Masons—a so clety which was said t o have mingle* alchemy and other occult sciences wi t i pantheism. This order ' soon becami affiliated, to some of the Masonic lodgei

. i n Germany, where from the time o; t h e reformation there was a constant

: tot&aing of societies, secret or open

iiIP&

watch undertook t o formulate a philos­ophy or a religion of their own.

A s ws knew tt now, however, F r o Masonry.first appeared in 1725, whei Lord Derwentwater, a supporter o f th» exited Stuart dynasty, introduced th» order into France on the strength o> asserted authority from a lodge a t JKil winning, Scotland. This formed tk basis of that variety of Free Masonr* called the Scottish Rite. Rival organ! cations soon sprang up . Character were obtained from, » lodge at T o r i which was said t o have been of vexj ancient foundation. l a 1754 Martins Pasquaiet, - . urtugufcc*. . . Degan tt some of the French lodges the new de­gree of -Cohens," or priests, whiej was afterwards developed i n t e a sye tern by Saint Martin, £ n d is usually re ferred to as 'tFrench Tuamtnlsm." Bui it remained for Adam Welshaupt, pro feasor of canon law at the Universitj of feigolstadt, in Bavaria, to give a de finite shape to the anti-Christian tend ency of Free Masonry, a s Catholics re gard them, i n 1776, two years aftei the expulsion of the Jesuits from thi university, he brought together a num ber of his pupils and friends and or ganized the order of the Illuminati which he established on the alreadj existing degrees of Free Masonry. Th< avowed object of the Illuminati was ti bring back mankind!—beginning wit) the Illuminated—to the primitive l ib berty by destroying religion, by sub­stituting for religion this newest Phil osoonicat invention and by reshapinj ideas of property, society, marriage etc. One of the Iluuniinati, a Sicilian Joseph Balsamo, otherwise Cagllostro organized what he called Caballstl! Free Masonry., under the name of thi Rite of Misralm. He i t was who ti 1783 predicted the overthrow of thi French monarchy. Indeed, Free M a sonry was very active i n the Frencl Revolution.

In 1781 a great assembly o f all thi Masonic rites, held a t Wilhelmsbad, » Hanover, under the presMency of th« Duke of Brunswick, ref>.aed to recog­nise Weishaupt's system, but at th« aame time permitted t h e most un Catholic tenets of IUumlnism t o be en­grafted on the higher degrees of M a sonry, especially of the so-called Bcotcl Rite. About this t ime the Scotch Rit< was established at Charlestown, i i South Carolina, by some officers of th< French auxiliary army. The rite ha< been introduced Into the United Statst by English colonists.

In France the sect was officially rec­ognised by the government of Napol­eon III., but advanced Free Masont bore this unwill ingly, as it Involved restraint An avowed belief In God wai required far initiation, but this re­quirement, through the efforts of M Mace of the university was flnallj abolished in the convention of Fret Masons held in Paris. S e p t 14, 1877.

A recent French writer maintain! that Free Masonry is—unknown to most of the craft—managed b y five oi six Jews who bend its influence in every possible way t o the furtherance of the anti-Christian movement thai passes under the name of liberalism Throughout Continental Europe, In th« Spanish-American states and in Braxti Free Masonry has of late years agali become very active. The war against the Catholic Church in Germany hai no more bitter supporter than Fret Masonry. If the Kulturkampf was not directed from the lodges, a t least near­ly all its leaders were Free Masons. In France and Belgium the lodges have officially commanded their membera t o assist the Llgue de l'Enselghnement —A league intended to bring about th« complete secularisation of the primary public schools.

•ttt the English-speaking countrtm however, Free Masonry has hitherto protested i t s respect for government and established society, and it has not had any Immediate action on politics, dts members usually found" as numer. ous in one political party a s another. But it has never failed indirectly to UBe Its influence for the advancement of its members over others. English-speaking Free Masons have usually been accustomed to regard the panthe-l s h of the ritual as a n amusing mum­mery rather than a "reality. These Fre* Masons usually disown their order a n ] a ims but those of a. convivial mutual benefit society, but Catholics s e e that fndlfferentlsm in religion is a t least one of the necessary results of Eng­lish-speaking Free Masonry at i t s best a n d t h e constant influx i n t o the Eng­lish-speaking countries of Jews and Continental Free Masons must neces­sarily impregnate the order wi th al l t h e poison of the Continental sect .

The Catholic church renounces Fret Masonry as essentially opposed'to th* belief In the personality of God, whose name I n the Masonic ritual vei ls tfatt doctrine of blind force only governing t h e universe, as also essentially sub­versive of legitimate authority, b y pro> feasing to, furnish m a n a a all-snftV d e n t guide and thus helping to make h i m independent of t h e Church, and because by i t s everywhere ridiculing rank and authority i t tends, i n spit* o f "its protest of loyalty, t o bring all government into contempt.

Free Masonry has been rspoatsdlj condemned b y leading and retpectabU m e n of all countries, Protestant and Catholic.

Sunday, October S, 1858, was t^e feast of the Holy Rosary, The pext day, Monday, I left my horns in life-land, after asking {he fifteen member* of m y rosary hand to pray for me . it was the feast of S t Francis, and I j>ut myself under his protection, and thai of my Guardian AngeJ, and Invoked the care of the Blessed V l n t a , promis­ing to say the fifteen decades of th« rosary every day wjbi|« a t sea .

We sailed from Liverpool o n Qctobei 11 with fair winds and had a prosper­ous voyage until the 18th, when neat the banks o t Newfoundland, a storm was encountered, which partly wrack­ed the ship. She was turned over on one side and the crew and carpenters, could do nothing except pomp. .<tl« water out to keep her from sinking. W e were a l l locked down onitt tb« 22nd, when the captain c a m s down and asked the first mate , t h e i t svard and the ship's carpenters If they could do nothing more to save the ship, say. i rg , a s he threw up his hanas:- -

"If you can't, in five minutes we will a l l be in eternity!;*' . »

Oh, I shall never forget - the awful cry for mercy that w e n t ap l T h * stew­ard'* wife w a s a Catholle,.and I beg. ged her to ask her husband to take m« o n deck. He said i t meant certain death to do so, as t h e ship was on bar side. I replied:
