PMD a.k.a. Andrew Sizer found guilty

[Darth Simian]

A FORMER Scarborough businessman has been convicted of two charges of
fraud.

Andrew Sizer, 47, took advantage of being a freemason to persuade a
fellow member of his lodge to “invest” £10,000, a jury was told.

In fact, the former mortgage broker used the money for his own living
and business expenses to maintain his standard of living during the
financial downturn.

Sizer, of North Marine Road, had denied the charges at York Crown
Court, insisting that the victim’s money purchased two-thirds of his
existing share in a Bulgarian property scheme, which he held for him
in trust.

But he was unanimously found guilty yesterday by the jury following a
four-day trial and will now appear in the new year for sentencing.

"We wish it to be your rule first of all to tear away the mask from
Freemasonry and to let it be seen as it really is" warned Pope Leo
XIII in his monumental encyclical Humanum Genus( 1884). Referring to
Masonry as "this foul plague," Leo XIII urged pastoral sermons warning
the Faithful that Masonry and related secret societies were "seducing
men and enticing them into their ranks" in order to fill them with
"the depravity of their opinions and the wickedness of their acts".
Leo XIII was by no means the first Pope to warn of the evils of
Freemasonry. Pope Clement XII had been the first to do so in 1738,
then Benedict XIV, Pius VI, Leo XII, Pius VII, Pius VIII, Gregory XVI,
and Pius IX. In Human Genus, Leo XIII emphasized the urgency of the
earlier warnings and stated that the Freemasons "are boldly rising up
against God Himself. They are planning the destruction of Holy
Church ... and this with the set purpose of utterly despoiling the
nations of Christendom ..."
