Statement by Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap. on the need to stamp out Freemasonry

Statement by Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap. to the Chief of Staff of the IRA, Four Courts’ Barracks, on the need to stamp out Freemasonry in Ireland. The report reads: ‘Freemasonry is the same everywhere in principle and desire – to destroy all religion Catholic and Protestant, Christian and Pagan to make way for its own lewd and lustful phallic worship’. Fr Dominic urges that no restraint be shown in destroying Masonic emblems. He writes: ‘I think you may have no scruple in destroying them, I think they should be destroyed in as much as they are not religious emblems, but symbols of lewdness, lust and impurity. The reason for the destruction should be made publicly known’.
