There are many groups referring to themselves as Rosicrucians.  Simply
put they are esoteric groups who (like Masonry) are religious in
nature BUT NOT A RELIGION.  They study the natural sciences like
alchemy and are deeply philosophical at times.  I am not a Rosicrucian
but like you have met a few from time to time.  I've yet to meet one I
did not like.

To answer you questions regarding Masonry and religion.  I MYSELF AM A
BAPTIST.  Many well known Masons have been Baptists as well (some were
ordained ministers).  Admittedly there is a POLITICAL feud going on in
the Southern Baptist Conference concerning Masonry.  I can assure you,
anyone getting close enough to the feud will agree that it is more
POLITICAL than spiritual, although the anti-Masonic faction would
rather have you believe otherwise (G) despite the fact that most of
the founders of that denomination WERE MASONS.  You Catholic question
is a bit tougher to explain briefly.

I will instead, attach a text file to this reply.  In case you are
unable to retrieve it, I will also post the file in the newsgroup.
