But in future, since the priestly canon openly sets this forth, that the crime of conspiracy or secret society is forbidden by external laws, but much more ought it to be prohibited in the Church; we also hasten to observe that if any clerics or monks are found either conspiring or entering secret societies, or devising anything against bishops or clergymen, they shall be altogether deprived of their rank.

(Council of Trullo, 692 – Canon 34)

    This is absolutely appalling! Why was Meletios Metaxakis allowed to be Patriarch of two sees, and to be an active clergyman while part of the Masons? In addition, the God of the Masons is not the Christian God; the Masonic God is simply a watchmaker who does nothing after the universe is created, whereas the Christian God sends His Son into the world to level the playing field after the fall of man. The Christian God loves, but I do not know if such a God as the Masonic God can love. Therefore, being a part of the Masons or a similar organization is like believing in two gods, and the First Commandment explicitly says “I am the Lord thy God, there shall be NO OTHER GODS before Me.” Therefore, those in Masons and other organizations are violating the Ten Commandments.
