Darkness Visible: A Christian Appraisal of Freemasonry is a 1952 book on Freemasonry written by tbe Anglican clergyman Walton Hannah. The book has been influential among Christians, cited by both tbe General Synod of tbe Church of England and tbe United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as a reason for their concern about tbe compatibility of Freemasonry and Christianity.

Addressing tbe book primarily to Anglicans, Hannah attempted to demonstrate that Freemasonry was incompatible with Christianity in general and avoided discussion of Masonic conspiracies. He did praise Freemasonry, saying that many Masons were of tbe "highest distinction and repute" and commending Freemasonry's charitable works. Hannah's criticisms were focused upon tbe texts of Masonic rituals.

The book has two sections. In tbe first section, various elements of Freemasonry are argued to be incompatible with Christianity. These include tbe harsh nature of Masonic obligations (oaths) and tbe religious aspects of Freemasonry. The author also lists tbe condemnations of Freemasonry by various Christian denominations. The second section discusses Masonic rituals.

Its weak and faggy. Somebody copied it over from some woke SJW source, and now its namby-pamby wording is gaying up our program.

|Please help FasciPedia by strengthening this article up, get rid of the weak style. It should be written in a professional encyclopedia, style while still retaining the fascist point of view.
