Anti-Catholic Conspiracies?

There was probably a prohibition on catholics joining protestant freemasonry lodges until relatively modern times. The knights of malta operate kind of as an order within the catholic hurch and under some kind of jurisdiction of the pope. A cardinal, a burke from new york, i believe, whose kind of a sketchy figure, pretty right wing um catholic, he believe to be grand master of the order. And they definitely had some kind of sketchy covert involvement, say, in cold war intrigues cause you had a lot of very wealthy business people that were involved with them.
