SIR AND DEAR BROTHER , —In your number of The Quarterly Magazine and Review for December 31 st , 1851 , you have given an article from V Univers Religieux against Masonry , and you attribute the persecutions , of which we have always been threatened , to the Jesuits . It becomes the loyalty which distinguishes the true Mason to repel everything that prejudices the reputation of others , and I hasten to fulfil this rigorous duty . The article of the Univers has been provoked through the imprudence of the chief of the secretary ' s ofiiee of the Grand Orient of Prancewho being too
, young a Mason to sufficiently appreciate what belongs to our situation , had commenced a polemical contest with that paper . Of course , he has been blamed ; for the essence of our institution forbids us to enter into any kind of controversy , either political or religious . As to the Jesuits , whose name is too often lightly mentioned , and to whom all kinds of evil actions are imputed , because people unfortunately confound religious Jesuitism with social Jesuitism , so far from their endeavouring to persecute Masonrythey much disposed to serve itbfreeing it from
, appear , y the shackles which the Pontiffs of Eome have hitherto imposed on its exercise . I know it for certain , that the chiefs of that order have requested ( to be furnished ivith ) a memoir on Masonry , in order to place it under the eyes of the Pope , to engage him to repeal the Bulls which his predecessors have fulminated against our Society , which is inoffensive to every religion . This memoir has been drawn up by one of the Masons who are considered as the most competent for that task . It is in the hands of the Reverend Fathers ,
