Free Masonry was virulently anti-catholic from its beginnings, right up through the 1960's. It was also considered a path to power and influence by many.
[It was the Masonic orders that had led much of the "Know Nothing" types of activities against the Irish and against Catholics in general. They openly advocated anti-catholic legislation, laws that prevented Catholics from holding office, etc. They worked hard to try to stop immigration from predominately Catholic countries, believing that all Catholics were inherently "anti-American".
So, please, don't try to pass off the pap that the Knights of Columbus are modeled on the Masons. They are not, and never were modeled on the Masonic Orders.
They fought against civil rights for Catholics (and Jews, Blacks and virtually everyone but White Protestants).
Unfortunately, in the USA, they are still sexist, prohibiting women from becoming Masons. That is NOT the case in most of Europe.
Maybe, someday, the Catholic Church will lift its prohibition against Catholics becoming Masons. But, as it stands, no Roman Catholic may become a member of any Masonic Order, and remain in good standing with their church.
Color me confused. The Jesuits sunk the Titanic 5 years before JFK was born to protect the Federal Reserve against him?

You'll notice that John F. Kennedy is on there. He switched on the Jesuits when he tried to shut down the CIA, which was founded and controlled by members of the Roman Catholic Knights of Malta. He also tried to stop the Federal Reserve. The Jesuits sunk a ship (Titanic) to protect that.
