| Summary |
"Étude sur la Franc-Maçonnerie" by Félix Dupanloup is a critical examination of Freemasonry written in the late 19th century. The work explores the relationship between Freemasonry and Christianity, positing that Freemasonry fundamentally opposes Christian beliefs. Dupanloup aims to clarify misconceptions about Freemasonry's true intentions and influence on contemporary society, particularly its role in political and social revolutions. At the start of the text, the author expresses his long-standing interest in Freemasonry, particularly following a significant circular that led to its public rise in France. He outlines the growth of Freemasonry's influence, citing examples of increased membership and its participation in societal change. Dupanloup raises critical questions regarding the compatibility of Freemasonry with Christianity, asserting that they are fundamentally at odds. Through analyses of official documents and speeches from Masonic leaders, he plans to expose what he believes are the deceptive claims of the Freemasons, ultimately concluding that a true Christian cannot be a Freemason.
