Entry: The Impresario Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_impresario#18722 Post contents: "Secret societies are by their very nature anti-Christian, even if not actively plotting against throne and altar. Jesus said He did nothing in the darkness, but all was said and done in the light of day." What Our Lord did in regard to public revelation is relevant to how private, human institutions behave how? Governments maintain secrets, too. Does that make govt. "Top Secret" classifications morally wrong? Human beings keep secrets from one another. How does this become "by its very nature anti-Christian" when several people keep secrets together? I'm not denying it, but I am asking for justification for the claim. Church canon law concerns *only* societies that plot against Church and/or state, secret or not. There is no excommunication simply for belonging to a secret society. Do you say that the Knights of Columbus are inherently anti-Christian? I believe they have secret initiations, an oath, degrees, etc. Sent at: 2008 11 21
