Freemason clerics out of Church - CEI (4)

(ANSA) - Rome, March 14 - Priests and bishops who are Freemasons will be ejected from the Catholic Church, Italian Bishops Conference (CEI) Secretary-General Nunzio Galantino said Wednesday. He said the Church had always had the same stance on freemasonry: "everything that undermines the common good to the advantage of a few cannot be accepted". Galantino said "shadowy powers" sometimes poisoned Italian political and social life and sometimes insinuated themselves into the ecclesiastical world.
    He said the Church's teaching left "no doubt" that Freemasonry and evangelical values like were "irreconcilable".
