Not all Protestants are Orangemen (although some of those who are both may well hate Catholics). Not all Protestants hate Catholics. Not all Protestants or Orangemen are/were Masons (not sure where that came from but you clearly have your own set of biases). But, more inportantly, not all Masons are Protestants, very few are/were Orangemen, and virtually none of them hate Catholics.
