From the dj flap description : "At the heart of the Church's opposition to Masonry lies its objection to Masonic secrecy. Yet this secrecy emerges as an anachronism dating from a necessary custom of operative times. Furthermore, an intriguing analysis of early 18th century European politics reveals a strong case for a 'hidden motive' of a political nature."
