I am assuming that in 18th and 19th C Ireland the Masons were as anti-Catholic as they still are in this day and age?That just means I won’t need to check any Masonic Lists as they come through!
Thanks for your work guys! You are amazing!
With thanks Chris Owen

Well Chris, that is very difficult to say! Hmmmmmmmm "as they are today"??
Well, I have known a great many Masons and Knights of Columbus members in
my almost 85 years. While I cannot say any of them were Anti-Catholic OR
Anti-Protestant, I would agree that Protestants would not be welcomed by
KofC nor Catholics by the Masonic Order.
Additionally, I am fully aware of SEVERAL ancestors of mine who swapped
religions.
Therefore, you might find your ancestor anywhere would be my suggestion.
All the best and thanks for your continued support.

Chris and Jim,
Prior to a Papal ruling of the 1860s, Catholics were numerous in Masonic Lodges; indeed, there were instances where Catholics made up the majority of membership.

Len is right.
I need to clarify that Masons are not "anti-Catholic". Indeed, it is the other way round ... as a basic principle, Freemasonry accepts people of all faiths. Anyone who believes in a "Supreme Being" ("the Creator") is welcome.
So, in your genealogical research, don't close your mind to any Masonic lists.
James

Hello Len,
I’m wondering if the Papal ruling had anything to do with Garibaldi too, and his push for unification, as he was a Freemason. My Great Grandfather’s Latona family was living in Palermo during that time and were obviously great supporters of Garibaldi. I know that as a couple of descendants carried his name, and my GGrandfather in Australia, and his brother who ended up in Scotland, were both Masons. Of course they were raised Catholics as well!
Cheers,
Verity
