Pope Leo XIII on Religious Liberty as Freemasonic

Pope Leo XIII, Humanum Genus (#22-24), April 20, 1884: “It is held also that the State should be without God; that in the various forms of religion there is no reason why one should have precedence of another; and that they are all to occupy the same place. That these doctrines are equally acceptable to the Freemasons, and that they would wish to constitute States according to this example and model, is too well known to require proof… Their chief dogmas are so greatly and manifestly at variance with reason that nothing can be more perverse.”
