Perhaps, but it doesn't change the fact that if you're a Catholic and a Mason, you are out of communion with the Church.
There are multiple things that the Chuch finds inappropriate about Masonry and it has nothing to do with my personal opinions. However it also has nothing to do with Satan worship
or atheism, in fact it is that the theology does not agree with what the Catholic Church teaches and they feel swearing yourself to an organzation with such theology is a conflict of interest.
Your beliefs on the matter don't change the Pope's or the Church's.
