I see Masons called satan worshipers, criminals, money lovers, ad infinitum. Any of that true?
No. Masonry, as a non-denominational organization, does not worship any being or god. Members must profess a belief in a Supreme being, but how one worships is left up to the individual. There are no satanic rituals, no animals, no blood rituals, no sexual acts nothing one would not find in any church or synagogue. Masonry teaches honesty, truth, charity, hope, and many other tenets that are in keeping with good moral character, none of which are compatible with criminal activities. Masonry teaches charity and relief, which are incompatible with “monied evil.
