In today’s episode, we cover just a hair of the issues the Catholic Church holds with Freemasonry, and we also cover personal opinion and historical speculation regarding the separation of the church and the state. The church still holds to the fact that any Catholic who finds themselves a member of the masonic sects are to be in a state of grave sin and such men are unable to receive communion, and all who find themselves in this situation are called to repent.

For “the saints are dead, they cannot hear you”, we have cited Mark 12:27, Luke 15:7, Revelations 5:8… Even Tertullian of Carthage in 220 AD states even the angels are “glad” at man’s repentance. For “Intercession isn’t biblical“ we have cited 1 Timothy 2:1-4, james 5:16, Acts 5:15-16. For “Religious artwork is damnable”, we cited Exodus 25:18-20, Numbers 21:7-9, and 1 Kings 6:27-28.
