When we look briefly at Masonic literature, we may begin to see that

this organization is nothing more than organized humanism, as well as
recognize that its aim is to create throughout the whole world a secular,
humanist order. These ideas were born among the humanists of four-
teenth century Europe; present-day Masons still propose and defend
them.

MASONIC HUMANISM:
THE WORSHIP OF HUMANITY
The internal publications of the Masons describe in detail the human-
ist philosophy of the organization and their hostility to monotheism.
There are countless explanations, interpretations, quotations and alle-
gories offered on this subject in Masonic publications.
As we said at the beginning, humanism has turned its face from the
Creator of humanity and makes the mistake of regarding man as "the

highest form of being in the universe." In fact, this implies the worship of
humanity. This belief, that began with the Kabbalist humanists in the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, continues so irrationally today in mod-
ern Masonry.
One of the fourteenth century's most fa-
mous humanists was Pico della Mirandola. His
work entitled Conclusiones philosophicae, cabalis-

ticae, et theologicae was condemned by Pope In-
nocent VIII in 1489 as containing heretical
ideas. Mirandola wrote that there is nothing in
the world higher than the glory of mankind.
The Church saw this as a heretical idea that
was nothing less than the worship of human-
ity. Indeed, this was a heretical idea because
there is no other being to be glorified except
Pico della Mirandola, a Kabbalist
Allah. Humanity is merely His creation. humanist.
