The Pope banned Freemasonry in 1737.
It was 1738, and that was part of Roman Catholicism's war against Great Britain and the Stuarts.
The Jesuits infiltrated Freemasonry when their order was banned as well.
This is from a Roman Catholic source and highlights the fact Archbishop John Carroll, the first Roman Catholic bishop in the United States, and his brother Daniel Carroll were both Freemasons.
Freemasons and Their Craft: What Catholics Should Know
Surprisingly, Freemasonry also enrolled Daniel Carroll, one of only two Catholics at the Constitutional Convention, brother of America's first bishop, Archbishop John Carroll of Baltimore, and cousin of Charles Carroll, the only Catholic who signed the Declaration of Independence.

Toussaint Louverture, a former black slave, was born on a Jesuit plantation in Saint-Domingue, and was educated by them. He was a devout Roman Catholic and became a slaveowner after being legally freed in 1776. He led the Haitian Revolution and worked and was affiliated with the "ex-Jesuits" the entire time.
