The Shriners hospitals are run by the Freemasonic sect the Shriners, who are Master Masons. In their words, “Not all Masons are Shriners, but all Shriners are Masons.”

Masonry revolves around a handful of dubious tenets, primarily, the errors of indifferentism, rationalistic naturalism, and implicit relativism, all of which are thoroughly incompatible with Catholic teaching. Freemasonry exults the human being and demotes the reality of the One, True God, His law, and intimacy with the Divine. The understanding of God in Masonry is cursory at best and merely affirms the existence of an “Architect,” or some vague “Supreme Being,” allowing for the members to select or define their own conception of said entity. This belief that truth is elusive and unclear consequently encourages Christianity to be seen through this lens.
