I don't think its members find anything contradictory about being a Freemason and being a Catholic because I recognized the names of some of the current members and I know they are practicing Catholics. But now you've got me curious; I should find someone to interview.Hildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572824685124656116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999552601430694736.post-25633947661052736502011-01-26T12:52:19.837+08:002011-01-26T12:52:19.837+08:00il est surprenant comme memorial, j'aime cela ...il est surprenant comme memorial, j'aime cela change.
