I have read the basic Masonic message. It sounds like Christian word but without directly mentioning Christ. WTF? Can one be a Christian as well as a Mason?
Your thoughts will be well received and apreciated.

I dated a girl back when I moved down here in the mid-70s. She was a Methodist and her father was a Mason. He was NOT AT ALL happy that I was a Catholic.

I dealt with alot of anti-Catholic BS when I was a construction worker. Like some hate-filled, ignorant, biggot is gonna make me convert to whatever religion he was pushing.

You cannot be a Catholic and a construction worker. You are deluding yourself if you think otherwise.

Okay, this is acceptable to me. You will attend a tridentine mass within two weeks as restitution.

Does that mean that they serve breath freshing gum after communion? Or do I have to carry one of those pitch forks?

And do you really mean restitution or atonement?

Close. It means that you get to chew that gum *three* times during the service, provided you chew in medieval Latin. ;)

I mean restitution. Had I used atonement, it would have been borderline blasphemy.

BTW, Ite Missa est. :)

I didn't know that there was a medieval Latin.

Anyway, I was pretty sure that they don't have mass on ballistic missile submarines, although maybe I should ask ABG.

38957,

Yes, ABG will know. (BTW, here in Michigan, we actually have a 'blessing of the bikes' once a year.)

Yes, there is classical (Ovid, Tacitus, Virgil, et al.) and medieval. The latter is sometimes referred to as ecclesiastical (ecclesia = church) or simply church Latin.

Ite Missa est = "The mass is ended" (usu. followed by 'Go in peace'). Music scholars believe that this phrase (Ite missa est) is where we get the term 'mass' in the conventional sense.

Admiral,

Have you ever read or heard that members of the Masons deny the resurrection?

I did not know that. I didn't date her for that long, obviously :)

We also have momentum to go with mass. It yields... inertia?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
