"Free Mason" Free & Accepted Masons
F&AM are not satanic or of the devil. It is an organization that helps behind the scenes of the public. Masons came from the Knights Templar. Their business to help men become better than what they are, better fathers, and family men. To be a Mason you must believe in the deity of Jesus Christ and God the father almighty. Just in case some one reads this...How do I know they are not off the wall or satanic? Because in the Temples in the Blue lodge in North America, inside you will find laying open on the alter the King James Version Bible- normally open to the Book of Psalms or Ezekiel. The KJV Bible is read from in their Ceremonies and meetings.
Why is number 33 the highest rank in Masonic Degrees?
I am guessing that by "ranking" you are referring to degrees. To make a long story short, there is no degree in Freemasonry higher than that of Master Mason, or the Third Degree.
There are, however, a number of organisations (or appendant bodies) that require being a Master Mason as a prerequisite for membership. The Scottish rite is one of these appendant bodies and offers degrees up to the thirty third.
While these appendant bodies have no authority over Freemasonry, (nor regardless of the level of their degree, do they place their members in a "higher" status than that of a Master Mason) they can provide an expanded perspective on some of the allegorical, moral and philosophical aspects of Freemasonry.

Why was Pope Pius IX excommunicated from the Freemasons?
There is no evidence that Pope Pius IX was ever a Freemason, much less that he was excommunicated by them. All of the evidence points to the fact that they were bitter enemies.
There was an article published in 1922 purporting that someone had seen his signature on a supposedly secret document proving that he was a Freemason. This has all the signs of a hoax or worse, anti-Catholic propaganda.
In any case, nobody can be "excommunicated" by the Freemasons. To be excommunicated means to be denied communion. Since Freemasonry is not a religion and does not espouse any particular religion they do not offer any religious sacraments to their members and have no control of what happens in their respective places of worship.
Why do masons roll up their trouser leg?
Masons often roll up one trouser leg during certain rituals as a symbolic gesture, representing humility and the idea of being unencumbered by material concerns. This act can also signify a readiness to engage in labor and the importance of being grounded in the physical world. Additionally, it serves as a reminder of the fraternity's values and the commitment to personal and spiritual growth.
