Many of the stories being composed of a mixture of truth and fiction. Others, actually, many, have been the product of one or another secret society itself as part of an effective misinformation campaign. In the same manner you would look for an invisible, yet solid, man in a forest. By seeking his footprints. But first, we want to clarify the concept of Ecclesiastical Masonry.
Many people interpret it as members of the clergy with far left or of very liberal ideology.
That is not correct. Ecclesiastical Masonry , as we define it, is any sect-like group within the Church which works behind the scenes and under the cover of darkness. It may be of the extreme right OR extreme left. He must slither his way in under a safe cover. The safest cover is that of False Piety generously doused with Diplomacy and Duplicity.
