The smoke of Satan entered the church

I feel the need to share this story with you because it illustrates what dire straits the bogus ordo is in today.  As most of you know, I work at a retirement community.  There are independent apartments, townhouses, and an assisted living facility which is the building I work in.  There is a man that lives in the independent apartments that comes over every day for lunch and dinner.  He has always made no secret and is VERY proud (his words)  of the fact that he is a 32nd Degree Mason.

He stops at the desk every day to talk and yesterday was no exception.  He was talking about going to the Lutheran church service that takes place in the chapel once a week.  Evidently there are different flavors of Lutheran that use the chapel ranging from most liberal (accepting gay marriage & abortion) to the more "conservative" which would not accept these things.  I like to play dumb with him because he will just keep talking and talking and there is a lot to learn from careful listening. 

He was upset yesterday because one of the "flavors" of Lutheran refused him "communion" because he is a Mason.  Of course, he went and asked the "pastor" if he could take communion if he was a Mason and the man told him "absolutely not",

The other Lutheran synod told him just to take his rings off and then he could receive "communion".  I said to him that I found that interesting because I was sure s that the Catholic church was the only church against Freemasonry.  He said "Oh NO!"  He went on to tell me how the "Catholic" church now allows Masons in the Lodge and that they are even encouraged  to join!  He said "They've changed! They have no problem with us anymore.  Only the Lutherans do!!"

Now this is old news - we've known about the Masonic connection with the bogus ordo for years but it was very interesting to me that the heretical Lutheran church would hold up this very important tradition but the church that CALLS itself Catholic dumped that just like every other core doctrine that we uphold.  And I heard it out of the mouth of a member.
