FREEMASONRY. Pierre-Louis PÉCHENARD (1842-1920) bishop of Soissons. L.A.S., Soissons January 24, 1914, to a President; 3 1/2 pages in-8. Violent indictment of Freemasonry, argued in 7 points. It constitutes "a State within the State, & even putting itself above the State", is a danger to the army and national defense, influences civil servants and magistrates, uses workers for its own profit; it is "a form of diabolical power" and has "declared war on God & his servants"... Etc.
