This is the most recent Vatican declaration on Freemasonry. It is dated 1983 (well within the reign of Pope John Paul) and released by the most important of the Pope's ministries, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It is as clear a statement of law as an Act of Congress, and its language is as clear as that of a sentence of excommunication. http://www.cin.org/users/james/files/masons1.htm
