Priests and bishops who are
Freemasons will be ejected from the Catholic Church, Italian
Bishops Conference (CEI) Secretary-General Nunzio Galantino said
Wednesday.
He said the Church had always had the same stance on
freemasonry: "everything that undermines the common good to the
advantage of a few cannot be accepted".
Galantino said "shadowy powers" sometimes poisoned Italian
political and social life and sometimes insinuated themselves
into the ecclesiastical world.
He said the Church's teaching left "no doubt" that
Freemasonry and evangelical values like were "irreconcilable".
