Enquête sur la monarchie
“C'est que la Franc-Maçonnerie ne se contente pas de faire prononcer un serment à ses initiés. Elle leur rappelle ce serment à chacune des réunions auxquelles ils assistent dans les loges. Elle déclare que le succès de son œuvre sainte est attaché à l'observation de la « loi du silence ». Elle crée ainsi en eux une tournure d'esprit très particulière d'où résulte une sorte de religion du secret. On ne saurait se figurer, lorsqu'on ne l'a pas subie, l'influence d'une telle formation, ni l'utilité dont elle est pour la Franc-Maçonnerie. J'ai pu mesurer l'une et l'autre à mes incertitudes, à mes hésitations, à mes révoltes de conscience, dans les jours dont je parle.”
Le Drame maçonnique. Le Pouvoir occulte contre la France, 1908

Le terme « étudiant » est ici considéré comme « étudiant en sciences hermétiques » et les termes « degrés » et « loges » sont à rapprocher d'organisations maçonniques ou assimilées.

                                        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.
