From  "condign penalties" (i.e. torture and murder) inflicted upon Masons by the Inquisition under In eminenti apostolauts to the incomplete and inaccurate characterization of the Fraternity in Humanum genus (which really just rails against a modernizing world), the Catholic Church's position on Freemasonry cannot pass scrutiny. The Church's position on the Freemasonry is untenable, outdated, and inaccurate. It was always based on hearsay and incorrect assumptions about the Fraternity (at least as practiced in the United States). Pope Leo XIII wasn't just wrong, his reasoning in Humanum genus is deeply flawed and fundamentally at odds with the Church's own adaptations over the last 150 years. It's time the Church revised its censure against Freemasons and, frankly, apologized.
