Freemasonry As A World Power Versus Roman Clericalism

By Jirah D. Buck and Jirah Dewey Buck

Book Overview

""Freemasonry As A World Power Versus Roman Clericalism"" is a book written by Jirah D. Buck that explores the historical and ideological conflict between Freemasonry and the Roman Catholic Church. Buck argues that Freemasonry, with its emphasis on reason, individual liberty, and fraternity, represents a powerful force for progress and enlightenment in the world, while the Catholic Church, with its dogmatic adherence to tradition and hierarchical structure, represents a reactionary force that has hindered human progress. Buck traces the history of this conflict from the origins of Freemasonry in the Enlightenment era to the present day, examining the role of Freemasonry in the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and other key moments in history. He also explores the ways in which the Catholic Church has sought to suppress Freemasonry, through excommunication, propaganda, and political influence. Ultimately, Buck argues that the conflict between Freemasonry and the Catholic Church is not just a historical curiosity, but a fundamental clash of worldviews that continues to shape the modern world. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of secret societies in world history and the ongoing struggle between reason and tradition.THIS 168 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Genius of Freemasonry and the Twentieth Century Crusade, by Jirah D.
