The chiefs of modern Masonry, that of the year 1717, who were three Jews and three Protestants, established other titles, additions, variations, attractions and curiosities that made my wife, Janet, and me think that the Protestants that guided the new Masonry were more cunning and aggressive against Catholicism than the ancient Jews themselves. I verify this with the fact that in Protestant countries the leadership of the lodges is more in the hands of Protestants, than in those of Jews.
As a result, to help admonishing the woman not to follow Masons' lure of 'liberty, equality, fraternity' into the trap, in the introductory section of the History of Masonry, The Dissipation of the Darkness, the Origin of Masonry, Mr. Lawrence included the words of Janet, as follows:
"Woman! Since Creation you enjoy the greatest affection and respect in the world. Wise men, philosophers and great men have said of you. The woman rocks the cradle with her right hand and shakes the world with her left.
"To you then, virtuous women, I present this History that it pleases me to call, 'The Dissipation of the Darkness,' and to you I say: For having influence my husband Jonas, the owner of this History, after his conversion to Christianity, and his being able to marry me, and for my having been the instigator of the idea of printing it and publishing it, you, too, must also share in the knowledge of its contents, to utilize what is within reach to convince men that Masonry is nothing but Judaism. To convince men that it was Masonry that made the pillars of nations totter, that demolished the powers, that rejected religion. It was Masonry that shed rivers of innocent blood with its Jewish cunning. It was Masonry, Masonry!
Boiled down to its simplest philosophy, the modern day Freemasons are based on the cathedral builders of the Middle Ages, and they use the terminology of the stonemasons to teach their members allegorical lessons about morality, charity, and honor. Instead of building cathedrals out of stone, the Masons say they're building cathedrals in the hearts of their members.
Very briefly, Freemasonry is a great big club, primarily for men, that uses symbolism and ritual to initiate its members and to teach them allegorical lessons. The stated goal of the fraternity is to take good men, and improve them morally, spiritually, and emotionally, by encouraging them to cultivate brotherly love, charity, honesty, and integrity. Masons believe they can improve society by making men better husbands, fathers, sons, and citizens.

Janet, a Protestant who married Jonas, Mr. Lawrence's great grandfather, understood the evil plan of Masons to change the role of the woman contrary to God's will. She even foresaw with striking accuracy the present conditions of women. Here is Janet's analysis of Masonry's conspiracy to turn the woman into a tool of Satan to destroy human society.
"Masons liberated her from all rules and conditions, having as a result the degeneration and misery of the woman. Our descendants will witness horrible spectacles born of the misery of the woman.
"The woman, with this exaggerated affection, was falsely exalted, fraudulently cultivating her pride without advising her of the irreparable loss that would be produced in her. With extremist liberty, the woman lost her temporal and eternal happiness, she lost her education, she lost her life and even more, she made the world lose family, social, educational and procreative order.
"If she took comfort in this easy and voluptuous life, the result of this joy was misery and mourning, mourning and misery for all the world."
Far from being a mysterious organization with shady dealings, the Lodge in my town has always been open to the public, frequently hosts banquets with the aim of recruiting new members via an "open-door" policy. Even the members I know of in my town are good men. They help the needy, donate to charities, do their best to employ folks who've had trouble in the current economy, and so on.
Father Martin stated in his last book, "Windswept House", that a black magic ceremony had been performed in Rome and South Carolina simultaneously on June 29, 1963. The notes of interest on South Carolina it being the home of Freemasonry in America, the state of origin for the Civil War, and also has a St. Peters in Columbia. This ceremony was to "enthrone Satan". What is of interest here is that Father Martin stated that the enthronement was enabled to occur sometime within 50 years of the ceremony. This means that no later than June 29, 2013, Satan is invited to assume the Papal throne.

It is interesting and very little known, it's certainly not sensationalist Black Propoganda along the lines of the Protocols of Sion satire, and as far as i'm aware hasn't been exposed as hoax.

I won't believe in Heaven and Hell
No saints, no sinners; no Devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always lettin' us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea, and never found
And it's the same the whole world round
The hurt I see helps to compound
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there, you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in...
It's you, dear God
No one is denying that some of these groups are naive and innocent to what goes on around them, but that doesn't change what goes on around them, nor does it change what is capable of infiltrating it.

Which is the translated copy given as 1897 in date, very much a mysterious publication though.
