Freemasons Took Part In Philippine Synod - Stone - 03-30-2023 Freemasons Took Part In Philippine Synod gloria.tv | March 29, 20223 Several participants in the April-September 2022 Philippine Synod which was held as a preparation for Francis' October 2024 Synod were Freemasons, Gloria Buencamino, 43, told UcaNews.com (March 26). Two Freemasons who are both lay distributors of Communion in Buencamino's parish, were delegates. The presence of freemason at the Synod became a scandal. Therefore, on March 24, the Bishops published a sybilline statement which, on the one hand, reaffirms “the unacceptability of Masonry, given its serious errors” and adds that a membership of Freemasonry entails canonical penalties, BUT, on the other hand, takes the alleged "sensitivity and delicateness" of the issue as a pretext to show "openness" towards Catholics who may have "unwittingly in good faith" may have joined Masonic sects "with the best of intentions.” US-based Filipino Freemason Edward Cruz, 56, told UcaNews that about 20 years ago then Father William Justice, now a San Francisco Auxiliary Bishop, assigned him to distribute Communion, which he still does.
