>The Roman Lodge is the oldest Lodge still active in the world. The first Lodge, founded by Simon Magus, was the power behind the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. With the rise of monarchies and the Royal Lodges (see below) during the early Middle Ages, the Roman Lodge lost a great deal of power, eventually losing its pre-eminence to the Enlightened Lodges

>The Roman Lodge is still an influential force behind the scenes in the Catholic Church. Many members are priests, bishops and cardinals. Although they leave most of the Church’s business in the hands of Catholicism’s visible leaders, they have a hidden agenda, unsuspected by even the highest ranks. Many leaders of the Opus Dei, a Catholic lay organization with millions of members worldwide, are Brethren, and they use this organization as their unwitting pawn for many purposes. Besides the Catholic Church, the Roman Lodge is secretly behind many fundamentalist Christian organizations, including many whose members would froth at the mouth at the suggestion that they have anything to do with Catholics!

>The leadership of the Roman Lodge is divided into three camps. The first is made up of devoted Christians who believe that they are working for the salvation of humankind by strengthening the Church. Their main concerns are the moral purity of the believers and the defense of religious institutions. A second is dominated by Gnostics (see sidebar, p. 24) who cynically use religion to amass power for themselves. Unknown to most, a third faction made up of servants of the demiurges has infiltrated the entire Lodge. These corrupted Initiates have instigated or abetted many crimes committed by men of the cloth. These three factions keep their identities secret — a seemingly pious Roman Brother might be a Gnostic at heart, or even a secret agent of the Corruptors

>All prominent and influential members of this organization are men. Most m recruits are also men. The organization is extremely prejudiced against women, whom members see as temptresses or as a simple means for the human race to reproduce itself. Brethren never trust m female Initiates from other Lodges, and betray or insult them when possible. The Servants of Hecate and the Roman Lodge are bitter enemies

>The members of the Roman Lodge consider themselves the oldest, and therefore the most powerful society. Although they have lost much of their power over mundane politics, they can still exert enormous influence. This Lodge controls the Vatican Vaults, which among other things contain the largest occult library in the world
