My (uninformed) opinion
I don't think that Tolkien was a Freemason. They seem to snap up all the symbols they can get their hands on, and everything I've read says that Tolkien was a staunch Roman Catholic. But then again, so was Mozart. I do think, however, that Gnosticism and Catholicism are somewhat mutually exclusive. But was Opus Dei formed yet? And aren't we getting a little too Da Vinci Code here?
