Here are some Catholic sources which I just googled that show how deceitful and/or misguided masons are:

Dear Father Anthony,
I am sure that a google or Amazon search might reveal the books I read about St. Padre Pio and St. Nectarios who were silenced by masons in high places within the church. In fact, I bought these books from priests, but
