Actually I would have to say that you are incorrect on both accounts. The Catholic Church has never lifted the ban on joining Freemasons. . . .
I would also have to say that many GLOs are not based on Freemasonry, but that too is very difficult to say as I have never (nor ever have any desire to) see/experience the Mason's rituals nor any other GLO's ritual. . . but based on the other thread with other member's saying they are not similar, etc I'm basing that statement on what had been said.
