Q. If there were, would you attend them?
A. Yes.
Q. Are you a Christian, a Roman Catholic?
A. Yes; I was baptized in the parish of St. Paul, at Paris.
Q. How, as a Christian, can you dare to attend masonic assemblies, when you know, or ought to know, that they are contrary to religion?
A. I did not know that; I am ignorant of it at present, because I never saw nor heard any thing there which was contrary to religion.
Q. How can you say that, when you know that freemasons profess indifference in matters of religion, which is contrary to the articles of faith, which teach us that no man can be saved who does not profess the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman religion?
A. The freemasons do not profess that indifference. But it is indifferent if the person received into the order be a Catholic or not.
Q. Then the freemasons are an anti-religious body?
