The Masons are not anti-Catholic or pro-WASP. To be a Mason, you do have to believe in a God of some description, but you don't have to be of a particular faith. My husband, for instance, is a Mason and is Jewish. The prohibition against Catholics becoming Masons came from the Catholic Church, not the Masons.
