Papal Bull Excommunicates Free Masons in Europe and Italy
The Pope in a bull condemns the Society of Free Masons as perverse and dangerous to public order. It forbids Catholics to join, write to, or associate with Masons, and orders measures to extirpate their influence, with Rome as the issuing city and dated June 29. Montpellier report notes further church reflections and cautions from Cardinal de Fleury on church conduct and admission of lay participants.
