This looks to be the equivalent of an "honorary degree" from a university, but as a Catholic definitely one that shouldn't be accepted, given its incompatibility with our faith.

Does the Pope know about this?

Kyrie Eleison

There is a high likelihood that he will spend eternity in hell anyway - so he might as well burn the boats right?

1917 Code of Canon Law would have done that.

1983 Code of Canon Law is merely an interdict. Doubt our bishops will tackle this issue.

This is one theory as to why you'll hear crickets from the US bishops regarding Biden and his freemasonry, even if he's out of office.

Does he even know he was there and why he was there? Maybe thought he was at a Knights of Columbus meeting?

C'mon totally different funny hats!

What are the chances he knows anything about either org. Heck, when he was running for president he said "…and this is why I am running for the Senate…"

Fourth Degree doesn't dress like that anymore. Berets and crap. Said youth didn't like the old regalia. Pshaw. Bring back the traditional Fourth Degree regalia... I have it, but not the new junk.

Oh yeah. Seen this discussed before

Catholic leaders test my faith in their sincerity daily.

So turn it over to the PabloSernas of the flock?

Yeah OK

Nah, bro. It's the remnant faithful, not the synodal church.

He has already excommunicated himself by this action. The best that can be done for him at this time is to pray for him. Pray that he repents.

Yet, how much has he done in his public life that results in latae sententiae excommunication? And how many times can you be excommunicated if you are already excommunicated? And why has this not been confirmed by the shepherds of the Church?

I don't know the details of his degree, but we do not have an honorary degree in Freemasonry. You are either a Mason or you are not. There are some nuances to this but they are far beyond the scope of the thread and irrelevant here. Either way, everyone and their dog knows Biden is a Catholic and most lodges make a big effort to make Catholic candidates aware of the rub the church has with the fraternity so an educated decision can be freely made.

User name checks out

I've known a lot of Catholic Masons over the years. The response on this thread has honestly surprised me.
