It has been revealed that former U.S. President Joe Biden was granted the title of "Master Mason" one day before he handed over his duties. It was stated that Biden, who belongs to the Catholic denomination of Christianity, could be excommunicated.
It has been revealed that former US President Joe Biden was awarded the title of "Master Mason" at the South Carolina Free and Accepted Masons Lodge one day before handing over his position to the new president, Donald Trump, on January 20.
AWARDED MASTER MASON MEMBERSHIP AND FULL HONOR
According to an announcement on the website of the Conference of Grand Masters, Biden was awarded "Master Mason membership and full honor" on January 19 at the "Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of South Carolina."
DUE TO HIS "EXTRAORDINARY SERVICES"
In the announcement signed by Masonic Grand Master Victor C. Major, it was stated that Biden was granted membership "for his extraordinary services to the United States."
COULD BE EXCOMMUNICATED
Biden, known to be from the Catholic denomination of Christianity, has faced comments in the US media suggesting that he "could face excommunication" due to his acceptance into Freemasonry. According to a decision made by the Catholic Church in 1983, those who join Freemasonry, which involves secret rituals and traditions, are to be "excommunicated directly."
ESTABLISHED IN 1775
According to information on its official website, the Parish Hall Freemasonry, named after its founder, is known as a historic black Masonic denomination established in 1775 by freed African slaves. According to Masonicfind, before Biden, there were 15 Masonic US presidents, including George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Gerald R. Ford.
