“La Maçonnerie a beau se couvrir du voile du mystère : tout homme de bon sens comprendra qu’elle affecte de se tenir dans les ténèbres ou parce qu’elle redoute de froisser la croyance populaire ou parce qu’elle a tout lieu de croire qu’elle serait accueillie par la raillerie moqueuse des spectateurs. Oui, tel est le double motif pour lequel la Maçonnerie se renferme prudemment dans ses loges : d’une part, la proclamation de ses principes antireligieux et antisociaux; de l’autre l’exhibition de ses momeries superstitieuses et de ses cérémonies ridicules.”

Ligue des droits de l'homme

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.

Le Drame maçonnique. Le Pouvoir occulte contre la France, 1908

First of all it's wonderful propaganda for the Masonic idea. If the royal house belongs to a lodge, then it is respectable in the eyes of the broad masses, the propertied and the educated classes. All doubts are at once silenced. The Masons no longer need to defend themselves, but only point to the king, their brother Mason. Is any individual going to be more clever than his king? Such membership automatically attracts all those whom the Masons particularly want, influential officials and politicians. Without any need for further action they have won over leading political and industrial figures to Masonry. The Masonic lodge now becomes the centre of social life with riotous banquets and celebrations for the king's or prince's birthday. It all seems like a great national and social club; cheap wining and dining offer no small attraction to the official unblessed with this world's goods.
