Over the years I have met many people who are convinced Masonry is an evil, satanic organization. When asked, they often reveal the source of their (mis)information was their preacher. Until recently I had no idea where these notions originated and came from. But, now I have a better understanding. As a member of a Lodge in Missouri, I receive a magazine title 'Missouri Freemason'. (what else? )
This months issue has an excellent, albiet depressing, article about this subject. During WWII Hitler's Nazi's had a propoganda film made called Forces Occultes. To keep this post short, I'll only say it presents a very dark, satanic image of Masonry. Unfortunately, it also played upon the fact that Masonry in France is, to this day, a very mixed bag of 'sorta' masonic organizations. I did not know that previously. I wish I could post the entire article here. Perhaps some internet searching will bring it up.
As I said, fascinating and depressing.
