The Catholic Church does not have its own Masonic Order. In fact, Catholics are not to join the Masons. However, the Catholic Church, at least in North America, has the Knights of Columbus which is a fraternal and service organization.

Why did the Catholic Church set up their own Masonic fraternity with the pope as grand master?

There has never been a Masonic fraternity in the Catholic Church, much less one with the pope as grand master. Catholics are forbidden by the Church, under pain of automatic excommunication, from joining the Masons. Pope Benedict XVI, while he was still a cardinal, issued a document clarifying this position of the Church and stating that there has been no change in this policy.

Does the Roman Catholic Church own valuable land and property?

Catholic AnswerThere is no "Roman Catholic Church", unless you are speaking of the local Catholic Church in the city of Rome. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. .The Catholic Church does not own property as such, saving, of course, Vatican City, which actually is its own country, or city-state, if you will. In the United States, for instance, every thing in a diocese - parish Churches, property, schools, convents, everything is owned by the Bishop as corporate-sole. This is how the Catholic Church in the United States was set up due to the laws of that country. I am not familiar with other countries.
