Why are Catholics forbidden to join the Freemasons?

Asked by Caravanfan (13541points) November 15th, 2023

As an atheist, I’m not allowed to join the Freemasons (because Freemasons require a belief in a higher power). That’s fine, I have no interest.

But why are the Catholics, who obviously do believe in a higher power, so opposed to members joining the Masons?
