Only one power has not allowed itself to be deceived, the Catholic Church. She is the inexorable enemy of all Masonry. It is certainly known to you that any Catholic is automatically excommunicated the moment he becomes a Mason. The Church knows very well why she is so inexorable. She herself works on Masonic principles; her religious Orders, in particular the Jesuits, are nothing more nor less than powerful lodges of the Catholic Church. She knows what she has herself achieved with this system and will suffer no opposition lodge, using every means to prevent her sheep from straying into it. One cannot be misled by the explanation that the Church is against the Masons because they pay hommage to liberal ideas. By now, these ideas have made such progress even inside the Catholic Church that warnings and prohibitions ont that account are out of place. The inexorable stand of the Catholic Church against Masonry is the best proof of how accurately we have summed it up. Only the foolish Evangelical parsons have still not realized what is at stake. They join the Masons without realizing that they are digging their own graves.

Sur la Franc-maçonnerie
“Mais la Franc-Maçonnerie Américaine est déiste et piétiste. Elle n'admet pas d'athées dans son sein. Elle ne veut pas seulement que l'humanité n'ait qu'un Gouvernement, qu'un Parlement et qu'une Cour de Justice, e! le veut aussi qu'elle ait une Église universelle qui sera une fédération de toutes les religions, comprenant essentiellement toutes les confessions chrétiennes et juives, n'excluant à proprement parler que le papisme et peut-être l'idolâtrie.”
