May 8, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – In a speech that he gave in 2017 to the Pontifical Foundation Kirche in Not (Aid to the Church in Need) in Germany, Bishop Athanasius Schneider presented the history and main characteristics of Freemasonry. In his presentation, he makes it clear that Masonry is forming an “anti-Church” and has, in its higher degrees, a satanic orientation.

In his presentation, the prelate made it clear that Freemasonry is working against the Catholic Church and that its higher degrees are committed to worship Satan. He writes:
“In the first grades of Freemasonry, there is venerated an uncertain and nebulous divinity as the ‘Great Architect of the Universe,’ who in the higher and then in the highest grades becomes more and more concrete; in the higher grades this uncertain divinity is identified as the Lucifer, as Satan, as the good god, the adversary of God; and the true God is here the ‘bad God.’”
Freemasonry, Schneider continues, is a “naturalistic religion,” a mixture of pantheism, gnosis, and “self-salvation”; however, this “religion” is only “apparently tolerant.” But in reality, Freemasonry is an “utmost demanding and intolerant” religion. This intolerance stems finally from the satanic traits of higher Freemasonry, as Bishop Schneider explained".
