However is that problematic? Sure.
Present canonical legal guidelines of the Catholic Church take into account becoming a member of a Masonic lodge a grave sin.
And whereas it doesn’t mechanically lead to excommunication anymore, the devoted is urged to resign their membership.
In the event that they fail to take action, they might be topic to canonical penalties that may go so far as an excommunication.
Cafeteria Catholic Biden joined a traditionally black Freemason lodge simply in the future earlier than he left the presidency.
The self-styled Catholic Joe Biden, who helps partial-birth abortion, i.e. infanticide, and who even earlier than Obama supported gender ideology and celebrated the “marriage” of two males, shouldn’t be Catholic. Interval. https://t.co/xwtAFtXdZl @RepMTG

Every day Caller reported:
“Biden was conferred with “Grasp Mason membership” and “full honors” on Jan. 19 on the Most Worshipful Prince Corridor Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, in keeping with the Convention of Grand Masters announcement. Becoming a member of the Freemasons as a Catholic forbids a person from receiving communion, with the potential for excommunication, in keeping with canon legislation of the Catholic Church.
‘Herefore, be it resolved, that I, twenty seventh Most Worshipful Grand Grasp, Victor C. Main, on behalf of the members of the Most Worshipful Prince Corridor 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 excellent service to the USA of America’, the assertion reads.”
Parish Corridor Freemasonry is a ‘traditionally black’ sect of Freemasonry based in 1775 by freed African slaves.
In keeping with Freemasons, Biden is now the sixteenth president in American historical past to hitch a Lodge.
“Earlier than a revision in 1983, the Catholic Church prescribed automated excommunication to anybody who joined the Freemasons, in keeping with the canon legislation. Nonetheless, the revision doesn’t point out the group by identify and as an alternative bars a person from receiving communion or in any other case punishes somebody “who joins an affiliation which plots in opposition to the Church,” in keeping with present canon legislation.”
This isn’t the primary time that there’s requires the excomuncation of Biden. From April 2024:
Viganò wrote in LifeSiteNews:
“The unprecedented and scandalous proclamation of March 31 as “Transgender Visibility Day” by self-styled U.S. President Joe Biden – who dares to declare himself a Catholic – constitutes a most severe offense to God and to hundreds of thousands of Catholics and Christians in America and all over the world, earlier than which it’s unattainable to not react with due firmness.
I urge Americans and their representatives in authorities to acknowledge the entire unworthiness of Joe Biden to carry an institutional place, which it’s well-known that he used fraudulent and manipulative motion to realize within the 2020 presidential election. I ask my brethren within the episcopate and monks to acknowledge that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such should be expelled from the church buildings and never admitted to Communion. I name on Catholics and all Christians to hope that, on this solemn Easter Day, the Risen Lord can have mercy on the USA of America and put an finish to the onslaught of the infernal forces unleashed at present greater than ever earlier than.”
