Which order is the enemy of Freemasonry?
Freemasonry has no single institutional enemy by definition, but historically its principal and most persistent opponent has been the Roman Catholic Church. Beginning with Pope Clement XII’s papal bull In Eminenti in 1738, the Papacy condemned the Fraternity for indiscriminately admitting men of all religions, requiring binding oaths of secrecy, and operating outside ecclesiastical control. Subsequent papal decrees—including those of Benedict XIV and Leo XIII's encyclical Humanum Genus—reaffirmed this stance, positioning the Latin Church in direct opposition to the Fraternity.
