I am not a freemason and have no desire to be one, but I know of catholics who are masons.
Not sure how many protestants are in the KSC though? Any idea, as you seem so knowledgeable?

I know and I'm friends with Masons who are practicing Catholics and Jews, amongst other faiths.I don't think non-catholics are allowed to become members of The Knights or The AO of Hibs. Mr Donnelly, look closer to home for the bigots.

Mr. Donelly,
Codswallop old chap. Freemasonry welcomes men of ALL faiths - you just need to beleive in god. I know many Catholic, Jewish, Hindu and Moslem freemasons - it is NOT anti-catholic in any way.
I guess as the other chaps have said look closer to home for bigotry.

I think stories of freemasonsetc are rubbish.
The Necropolis was originally a park known as both Merchants’ Park and Fir Park, and was Scotland's first non-denominational hygienic cemetery when it opened in 1833. The name is from the Greek, meaning ‘The City of the Dead’ and it was based on the model of Pere Lachaise in Paris. The Bridge of Sighs, designed by David Hamilton, spanned the Molendinar Glen. This was erected over the following year, and linked the Cathedral to the Necropolis.

I worked, for a couple of years, for a concrete company on Alex.Parade next to the Necropolis.This was back in the 70s'.
A doctor I met from the hospital told me that there is a passage beneath John St, which seperates the Necropolis from the Royal Infirmary.
Apparently, this was used to transport the bodies of those who had died from highly contagious diseases, to the cemetry as quickly as possible, in the 1800's.
Can anybody confirm if this is true? It's something that's always intrigued me.

Very interesting article and will watch closely to see if there is any truth in the speculation.To comment on above-the masons are not anti-Catholic and this is a blatant falsehood.There are many Catholics and other non-Protestant religions in the Lodge which anyone with any knowledge of the craft would know.I suggest that inaccurate ramblings like the above comment are not ignored but challenged as they are plain wrong.Suffice to say Mr.Donnelly you have your 'secret societies' mixed up and yes Finbar is my real name...get it???Cheers and look forward to visiting the Necropolis when i'm back in Glasgow at the end of the month for the Cup Final.

Thomas Kelly Donnelly-i have just re-read your post and I would like to add that my knowledge/association with Freemasonry is in England not Scotland.Absolutely in England there is no anti-Catholicism and if brethren North of the Border are being anti-Catholic they would be expelled-it is at odds with all teachings etc etc.Cheers.

Nowadays it's possible to be a Mason and a Catholic, although practising Catholics (emphasis on 'practising') would not normally BE ASKED to join. Bearing in mind that a person must be asked...and can be blackballed by lodge members from being accepted.
I have non-Catholic Masonic friends who are rampant Celtic fans and I believe them when they say that 'although Catholics can join, very few do...or are accepted'.
In the last century it was generally known that Catholics (especially Irish) would not be accepted into Scottish Lodges.

regarding norrie sampsons enquiry about burials of people with contagiou,s disease,s what you maybe getting confused with norrie is when they built the new extension to glasgow royal infirmary in the 1970,s whilst digging the foundation,s for the new site which lies to the west of the necroplis and north to the original infirmary building,workmen discovered hundred,s of lead encase,d coffin,s believe,d to contain victims of the buebonic plague,where these coffins have been relocated remains a mystery to this day. knowing the mason,s i wouldn,t past it past them that they where sold as scrap metal.

I walked through the necropolis and was totaly creeped out I didn't even know what a necropolis was but believe me they are scary. I didnt see any masons but it looked to me like it was definatlely built by masons. most likely of the stone variety. As that is what it seems to be mostly built out of. So if you are in a dark alley and see a necroplois i would advise you to run away.

Hi Sandra, the only tunnel I know of was from the Western Infirmary to the Kelvinhall. Its closed off now but still exists. The Kelvinhall was used during the 1st world war as a Mortuary. This is true. There was thousands of bodies there. Hope this helps.

It is sad to see the amount of prejudice on display here. What has happended to the Scottish values of tolerance and respect of minority groups? Some commentators are confusing Freemasonry with other organisations. Some people just love to poke fun at minorities even if they are legal, legitimate and horourable. If you made these comments regarding Jews, Muslim, the disabled, gays, black people etc. the outcry would be enormous - it seems that that people can be nasty, vicious, prejudiced and intolerant against any minority group so long as it is the Freemasons. What an indictment of this 'tolerant democracy' of ours.
It is sad to see the amount of prejudice on display here. What has happended to the Scottish values of tolerance and respect of minority groups? Some commentators are confusing Freemasonry with other organisations. Some people just love to poke fun at minorities even if they are legal, legitimate and horourable. If you made these comments regarding Jews, Muslim, the disabled, gays, black people etc. the outcry would be enormous - it seems that that people can be nasty, vicious, prejudiced and intolerant against any minority group so long as it is the Freemasons. What an indictment of this 'tolerant democracy' of ours.

It is well known that masons are a daft boy's club. Stupid men join because they think they're going to get let off speeding fines and have some sort of special privileges but forget it's the same sort of chancers and social inadequates as themselves that join. It is linked with bigotry in Scotland as well. I always laugh when some greasy loser shakes my hand and tickles it to see if I'm one of them. Still at least they leave their fed-up wives alone for the evening which is good news for the likes of me.

William Ross - The name Kelly can be a girl's name as you say. It also happens to be the most common SURNAME in Ireland after Murphy.

Dont cry for me Donald Finlay. Give us peace mate - the masons are some of the biggest hate moungers in the world and are so anti-Christian that the men at the top swear oaths to the other side. Don't try and make it out to be innocent - your only fooling yourself if you do. Thy Kingdom Come!

Very interesting article and will watch closely to see if there is any truth in the speculation.To comment on above-the masons are not anti-Catholic and this is a blatant falsehood.There are many Catholics and other non-Protestant religions in the Lodge which anyone with any knowledge of the craft would know.I suggest that inaccurate ramblings like the above comment are not ignored but challenged as they are plain wrong.Suffice to say Mr.Donnelly you have your 'secret societies' mixed up and yes Finbar is my real name...get it???Cheers and look forward to visiting the Necropolis when i'm back in Glasgow at the end of the month for the Cup Final.

to I.AM A. Lewis.
I made no claim to have knowledge of Freemasonry, I was paraphrasing some friends who passed their own Masonic knowledge and suggestions to me.
I loathe secret societies and can only wonder at the sheer inanity of grown persons becoming involved in such ritualistic nonsense.
I have relatives who also asked me to help them revise in readiness for various Lodge Offices. I say again "HO-HUM", what a load of baloney. I'd rather watch paint dry!
Incidentally, how can a person talk 'mince'? I thought we Scots ate that!

God, you Europeans just WILL NOT quit with the religious strife and bigotry, will you? What has it got you--lots of exciting history and a thousand years of slaughter over rival god images.
Just leave that eurotrash at home and don't bring it to North America, we've outgrown it.

Hundreds of years of sectarianism can't be removed within less than a generation (relatively understandable). If the individuals above actually read what Freemasonary is all about, instead of playground chatter, they would learn that they have grasped on the wrong end of the stick entirely. The issue was never with Catholics, it was the fact their "loyalty to their country" was questionable. A lot, granted not in the same numbers, of Irish Protestants hit Glasgow at the same time and they were refused entry to the lodge as well.
It's all on this wonderful internet thing, though most of them probably don't have opposing thumbs!
