À propos de cet audio

Many have claimed for Freemasonry a heritage that has been traced to biblical times and involved many historical celebrities. In this acerbic essay, religious scholar Joseph McCabe reveals that this tradition actually commenced with the guilds in the Middle Ages, and that it inevitably attracted the hostility of the Catholic Church because of its populist and atheistic leanings. He also shows that Freemasons were significant players in the struggle for democracy which eroded the power of popes and princes.

The narrator was fine, but the story itself was very biased. It spent more time talking about the Leo Taxil HOAX, anti-Masonic literature, and Roman Catholic Popes (who were against the Craft) than it did about the history of the Society. Never once was a tool (that speculative Masons use to improve various aspects of their character) mentioned, nor was the ultimate goal of the Orders (That of making good people better). Masonry at its heart levels the playing field, making everyone equal (in spite of racial, religious, political, and economic differences), and empowers members to embody better philosophies while alive, in the hopes of having a boon in the afterlife (which is something shared with the Ancient Mystery Schools from Egypt to India). There are many better books on the history of Freemasonry than this one.

Superficial, outdated (1949), and nearly anti-Masonic.
