I just happened to run across this thread what looking at unread posts. Seeing as it has been recently bumped I will chime in.
I attend Mass somewhat regularly; however, I am not Catholic. I took the RCIA (Roman Catholic Initiation for Adults) classes a couple of years ago, but that was primarily for something to do. The priest did mention that the Catholic Church recommends against Masonry, but he went into no great detail.
The only reason that the issue was raised was due to a person (not me) who wanted to join both the Masons and the KOC (Knights Of Columbus) and was under the impression that membership in one would make him ineligible for candidacy in the other and was asking which he should join first in order to be eligible to be in both (I am not sure if the question reflects actual policies, it was just a question raised by another in the class).
