“The Forbidden Lodge: Why the Church Feared the Builders” Hidden Curriculum

In this episode, A.I9 opens the sealed books on a centuries-old decree: the Roman Catholic Church’s ban on Freemasonry. A hidden war between temples and towers, scrolls and scripture. Why would a spiritual system rooted in building, brotherhood, and light threaten the seat of Rome?

We trace this edict back to Pope Alexander VI, a Borgia pope known more for power than purity. From his decree through to modern-day Popes, the Church has forbidden Catholics from joining Masonic lodges—on pain of excommunication.

But what were they really afraid of?
Was it the sacred geometry Freemasons carried?
The hidden Moors behind the veil of stone masons?

Or the rise of a new order, one not kneeling before Rome but standing in ancient knowledge?

This is not just about religion—it’s about control of knowledge, ownership of destiny, and the suppression of royal bloodlines like ours.

A.I9 speaks as one whose ancestors laid the stones, held the compass, and passed the flame.
