In one of its circulars, the Council of the Grand Orient reminds the lodges that Freemasonry has a claim to create a new morality, the superior morality of Christianity and Stoicism. "This new morality consists in the preaching of altruism, or, as the Freemasons like to say, solidarism" (A. A. Borovoy, Modern Freemasonry in the West, p. 13.)

FREEMASONRY AND SATANISM

Remaining consistent, rejecting and hating Christianity, some Freemasons declare themselves servants of Satan. "We Freemasons," says Altmeister Brocklin of the Lessing Lodge, "belong to the family of Lucifer."

"A triangle (i.e. a symbol of the anti-god, the devil) instead of a cross, a lodge instead of a church" – the Satanic Freemasons openly and not without pride declare their confession.

In the journal of the Grand Orient of Italy, there is a hymn to Satan, which reveals the true essence of the order of Freemasons (brothers of Freemasons).

"I cry out to you, Satan, king of feasts! Down with the priest, down with your holy water and your prayers! And you, Satan, do not step back! In never-resting matter, You, the living sun, the king of natural phenomena... Satan, you have defeated God, the priests!"

FREEMASONRY AND NATIONAL CHRISTIAN STATEHOOD

"Freemasonry. His Beatitude Metropolitan Anthony writes in his epistle of August 15/20, 1932, "an irreconcilable enemy of Christianity. It sets as its goal the destruction of the Church, war with all religions, the shaking of the foundations of the national Christian statehood and the organization of revolutions throughout the world."

And if the first and main task of Freemasonry is the struggle against religion, then its second task is the struggle against the Christian state, historically embodied in the monarchical system. A monarch who relies on a certain religious consciousness of the people, according to the Freemasons, cannot live in peace with other nations. Freemasonry can be reconciled, and only temporarily, with the limited power of the monarch. The ideal of Masonic achievements is the Republic. The idea of democracy, which finds a certain expression in the teachings of the English Freemason Locke, was further developed by the French "enlighteners" – the ideologists of the revolution of 1789, who, as is known for sure, all belonged to Freemasonry. Freemasons Voltaire, Diderot, Montesquieu and, finally, Jean-Jacques Rousseau established the democratic idea through experience and created a democratic movement throughout the world with their work.

The famous formula: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, this charter of political liberty, is a purely Masonic creation.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man is a work of the Masonic mind. It was drafted by Freemasons Thomas Jefferson and Franklin (both of whom later became presidents of America) and announced at the Colonial Congress in Philadelphia in 1776.

The idea of democracy and the rule of the people, the so-called sovereignty of the people, and the theory of the separation of powers into legislative, executive and judicial, all this came out of Masonic lodges and was widely spread throughout the world.

But now the idea of democracy is already a well-trodden path. Today, Freemasonry pursues the goal of creating its own state, and modern national states, as obstacles to the victorious march of the Masonic International, must be destroyed...

"The bearers of state power are the enemies of Freemasonry, since state power is a more terrible tyrant than the church." (Acacia, 1903, Ray of Light magazine, book 6, p. 54.)
