Did Joe Biden join the Freemasons?

Did Joe Biden join the Freemasons?
Ed. Condon
January 24, 2025 . 7:51 PM

An announcement surfaced online Friday, issued the Conference of Grand Masters of Prince Hall Lodge Freemasonry, and stating that the Grand Lodge of South Carolina had conferred membership on President Joe Biden.

According to the announcement, dated Jan. 19 — the day before Biden left office — the president was granted a “resolution of membership” by the lodge in recognition of his “exceptional dedication and service to the United States” which “reflects the core values of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, including brotherly love, relief, and truth.”

It is not uncommon for outgoing presidents to be honored by groups and organizations.

But as the second Catholic to hold the office, Biden’s new “membership” of the lodge presents a particular issue: Catholics have been banned from joining masonic lodges and organizations since 1738, and are subject to canonical penalties for doing so.

So, is Joe Biden now a Freemason? And if so, what canonical penalties does he face? Based on the facts available, the situation is more complicated than you might think. ...  https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/did-joe-biden-join-the-freemasons

I doubt this is true.  Even the freemasons have standards.

Joe Biden Potentially Faces Excommunication After Quiet Induction Into Historically Black Masonic Lodge

Former President Joe Biden, who is Catholic, joined a historically black Freemason lodge just one day before he left the presidency, an offense punishable by excommunication in the Church.

Biden was conferred with “Master Mason membership” and “full honors” on Jan. 19 at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, according to the Conference of Grand Masters announcement. Joining the Freemasons as a Catholic forbids an individual from receiving communion, with the potential for excommunication, according to canon law of the Catholic Church.

“Herefore, be it resolved, that I, 27th Most Worshipful Grand Master, Victor C. Major, on behalf of the members of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, hereby confer membership upon President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. in recognition of his outstanding service to the United States of America,” the statement reads.

I'm not Catholic, but thought those two weren't supposed to be permitted to take communion because of their support for abortion.  :shrug:

Well then I stand corrected.  It looks like neither freemasons nor the Catholic church have standards.

If you are Catholic that is a big no no!  As a yute, My mom didn't even want us to go to the Masonic Temple for concerts and other various forms of entertainment.

A friend of mine who grew up attending Catholic schools on Long Island used to laugh about the nuns who always blamed all the world's woes on the Masons. Of course, the kids were terrified of a Mason hiding behind every shrub, about to jump out at them.

Joe, like Nancy would never have to worry about excommunication as long as Pope Socialista Faggato is in charge.

They were told not to but apparently they found priests to give them communion...she appealed to the Vatican to intervene

Freemasons aren't supposed to take Catholics. It's a mutual opposition.

Certain other denominations don't allow Freemasons to take membership in the church but that isn't as widely enforced.

I do not believe the Masons in 2025 have any restrictions regarding Roman Catholics.  One of the basic requirements to be a Mason is the belief in God.  You can be any of the flavors of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism and be a Mason.  You cannot be an atheist.

Actually One of the lodges up north used to go out of their way to recruit Catholics into the Shriners. Old me love driving those little clown cars.

Nostalgia for a different time.  People miss his stories and folksy ways.  Our Joe always had a smile and good word for the everyman.

He truly was.  History will show him as a man of faith.  A faithfull, loyal, principled public servant of, by, and for the people. Joe was never burdened with an overabundance of schooling, in school his test scores always placed him on top of the bell curve.  Because of this he was impossible to underestimate.

In the end I hope Joe gets what he deserves.
