St Mary Presentation Parish in Deer Park, Spokane Diocese, Washington, built a new church and sold its old on in 2011 to the local Masonic lodge (PillarCatholic.com, March 25).
The sale of a church has to be approved, among others, by the diocesan bishop who at the time (2010-2014) was Blase Cupich who later became the notorious anti-Catholic Chicago Cardinal.
Canon law allows putting up churches for secular use but not for a sacrilegious, immoral, or scandalous purpose while a 2013 Vatican guide explains it's better to demolish a former church than to sell it for use inconsistent with its dignity.
Leo XIII says in Humanum Genus (1884) that the "Masonic sect" wants to destroy the religion and Church instituted by God and reintroduce the customs of the pagans.

And the dioceses get rumpled about selling property to SSPX? Inverted thought.

Up next, selling to Russian Orthodox. Why not? One schism is as good as another.

This is a terrible thing, certainly. Just as terrible is the fact that churches have been built that so easily are transformed into masonic lodges. Just replace the crucifix with the square and compass. Horrible.

Almost as if they were intentionally built that way?

The New Mass was composed by a Mason.
