Questions of faith: How can a priest deal pastorally with those who are quick to suspect people of being Freemasons?

A parish priest has asked for guidance on how to pastorally manage parishioners who frequently suspect others of being Freemasons.

In a question submitted to The Irish Catholic, the priest noted that some members of his community are convinced that even the Vatican has been infiltrated by the group. The inquiry follows a recent article regarding Church teaching on Freemasonry.
