Borgess answers Lyons' letter about Catholics and Free Masonry . As to the antiquity of the Order of Free Masons, he refers Lyons to the article under that head in the New American Cyclopedia, Vol. 1. As regards the Catholic church as founder of Masonry, the Masonic Corporations which existed of old in the Catholic Church were for the furtherance of Art, such as minsters, cathedrals, convents, etc., of the ages of Faith, and have nothing in common with the present system of Free Masonry. He quotes Anderson's Constitution, condemned by Pope Clement XIII, Pope Benedict XIV, and Pope Leo XIII with all other oathbound secret societies. In Europe and America any Catholic belonging to such organizations is excommunicated. He ventures to brand a falsehood Bishop Frederick Rese's membership. Probably a final draft. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
