My question would be, how many masons here are RC, or do you know of
any at your lodge, and how do they balance this issue?

I am more tempted to join a different church, just afriad of telling
my mother ;-)

In Colorado we have a Past Grand Master who is Catholic. I do not know any details.

I have a local brother who is Catholic. His church, the only RC Church in town, recently has a new priest. This man frowns upon Freemasonry and is making life a bit difficult for our brother.

You pays your money, and takes your chances.
