The church doesn't want it's congregation to join the masons. But being treated so poorly by this pope, who like the vatican, forgets what people and their ancestors have done to protect them, and saying he excommunicates honorable men, has caused friction. So to gain strength through numbers, many have become masons. Devil worship is not their thing. Their symbols have been hijacked by imposters and used to give that impression. Look at the shriners, if that is the work of satan then he must be turning over a new leaf.
