Going off on a tangent here, but does anyone know the origins of why Masonic lodges imply bias towards Rangers? As far as I was aware, isn’t freemasonry completely unrelated to football or religion for that matter? Has it just been a mix up between orange lodges and Masonic lodges? Obviously I’m asking questions you may not have an answer to, I’ve just always been curious about it haha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to him, the Catholic church doesn't agree with freemasonry in general and doesn't allow or want Catholics to be Masons. From the Masonic side, there is no bar on Catholics joining. But this issue gives the organisation a Protestant flavour and an impression of Rangersism. This is second hand info of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 There was no bar on catholics playing for Rangers either, just took them a wee while to find any good enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The social club attached to my Granddad's old masonic lodge had a sign up saying "no party popers" with a picture of JPII in a red circle with a line across it. Technically, the BNP allows black members. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I should add that this conversation with my old man came about when he invited a friend of his to join, but the guy declined because he was a Catholic. I've no doubt that there is a strong Orange, anti-Catholic element within the Masons. As I said I'm not a member but I do know a few people who are and there are indeed a fair number of utter roasters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozart was a mason and devout Catholic. This idea that the masons are out to get Celtic is a really weird semi-fascistic conspiracy theory that you think they'd be leaving behind.

He was buzzing all over the place, and the passage of play where he pressed Soro high, won the ball and played in Sakala typified how good he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
