"Partially adapted from the article “John Salza: Have Freemasons Infiltrated the Knights of Columbus?” Published by both The Remnant Newspaper (Michael Matt / John Salza, February 5, 2011) and Catholic Family News (John Vennari / John Salza, March 2012)
The story of Catholic attorney and apologist John Salza and his temporary sojourn through Freemasonry has been well-chronicled throughout the past decade. Salza has appeared on many radio (Catholic Answers Live, EWTN Radio, Relevant Radio) and television programs (EWTN, Fatima TV) throughout the country and the world to explain his experience and the inner workings and doctrines of Freemasonry. Salza’s interview on EWTN’s The Abundant Life (called “The Hidden Side of Freemasonry”) was so well-received that he was asked to do a second show on the topic (called “Why Catholics Cannot Be Masons: Round 2”). Salza has written two best-selling books on the subject called Masonry Unmasked: An Insider Reveals the Secrets of the Lodge (Our Sunday Visitor) and Why Catholics Cannot Be Masons (TAN Books). He also has an extensive Q&A on Freemasonry at his website www.scripturecatholic.com which includes the rituals of the first three degrees of Freemasonry.
In October 2011, Salza was interviewed by Most Reverend Michael J. Sheridan, Bishop of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, on the topic of Freemasonry. That interview was radio broadcast and the transcript was published in a six-part series for that diocese’s The Catholic Herald (see also www.scripturecatholic.com). Most recently, Salza has given lectures at Fatima conferences in Rome to explain Freemasonry’s influence within the Catholic Church which formally commenced at Vatican II as Our Lady prophesied at Quito and Fatima. In 2012, Salza is releasing a book (with co-author Robert Sungenis) that documents Freemasonry’s infiltration into the Church called The Consecration of Russia – How Seven Popes Failed to Heed Heaven’s Command and Brought Turmoil to the Church and the World.
After Salza left Freemasonry in 1999, he joined the Knights of Columbus. He thought joining the Knights would not only replace the fraternal camaraderie he left behind in Masonry, but more importantly would be a vehicle by which he could educate Catholics on the dangers in Masonry (which was one of the aims that Fr. McGiveny had when establishing the K of C). Salza received the three degrees of the Knights of Columbus and even became proficient in conferring the degrees. However, a number of things bothered him about the Knights of Columbus...."
