Joe Biden Becomes Master Mason?


Joe Biden was conferred with “Master Mason membership” and “full honors” at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina right before leaving office.

“It is with great pleasure that I, Victor C. Major 27th The Most Worshipful Grand Master, welcome our newest member to the Prince Hall Family. On Sunday, January 19, 2025 at a private event, Master Mason membership with full honors were conferred upon President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. in recognition of his outstanding service to the United States of America,” an announcement read.

From the Conference of Grand Masters:

Daily Caller reports:

Parish Hall Freemasonry, which takes the name of its founder, is a historically black sect of Freemasonry founded in 1775 by freed African slaves, according to the lodge’s page. Biden is now the 16th president in American history to become a Freemason, according to MasonicFind.

The Freemasons are a secret fraternal society that offers fellowship to the men who join, which includes secret rituals and customs, according to Britannica. The masons require that members profess a belief in a “supreme being,” but are not explicitly Christian.

Before a revision in 1983, the Catholic Church prescribed automatic excommunication to anyone who joined the Freemasons, according to the canon law. However, the revision does not mention the organization by name and instead bars an individual from receiving communion or otherwise punishes someone “who joins an association which plots against the Church,” according to current canon law.

The church has imposed excommunication for the offense before and the new language would not change the possibility, according to Catholic Answers.

The Archdiocese of Washington and the Diocese of Wilmington did not immediately respond to questions on whether Biden would face excommunication, be actively barred from receiving communion or any other punishment for the act.
