Grande Oriente Democratico: John XXIII Was a Mason - Stone - 07-10-2022 Grande Oriente Democratico: John XXIII Was a Mason
TIA | July 9, 2022 The website Grande Oriente Democratico is a place for Freemasons of Italy, principally those members of the Grande Oriente d'Italia di Palazzo Giustiniani to express their ideas and opinions. The text published on this site on October 6, 2019, commemorates the choice of the Archbishop of Bologna, Matteo Zuppi, to be raised to the College of the Cardinals. The website praises Zuppi and adds that he is not a Mason, unlike "Brother" John XXIII who was a Mason. This simple addition stated in passing while dealing with another subject gives us, for the first time, an "official" Masonic source representing the Italian Masonry affirming without doubt that John XXIII was a Freemason. The reader may keep this document for future references. The text that follows below is our translation from Italian of the text that appears in the photocopy reproduced after it. The original can be read here. Quote:Matteo Zuppi, newly created Cardinal, significantly quotes Saint John XXIII (Brother Angelo Roncalli) on spiritual paternity and fraternity. |
