By Jules Gomes, Church Militant - The Grand Lodge of Italian Freemasons is praising Pope Francis' covenant with Islam as "a turning point in civilization because it will open a new era" if applied... The "Catholic part" of the Abu Dhabi declaration was drawn up by the pope alone and "the Vatican Curia 'did not put a pen' in the drafting of the text," claims Freemason Pierluigi Cascioli in the latest issue of Nuovo Hiram, the journal of the Freemasons of the Grand Orient of Italy.
