Many citizens were not Catholic, so the endorsement of the Pope would not have much influence
               on them. Not to worry, the propagandists did not forget the Protestants. On the front page of the
               Auckland  Star,  a  New  Zealand  newspaper,  there  are  two  prominent  articles  which  appeal  to
               Christians of all faiths.




























               One article is titled Aldrin to take Communion on lunar surface. Another reads Parents were
               ‘hoping, praying.’ Yes, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who is a Shriner and Freemason, took communion
               on the Moon.

               Two and a half hours after landing, before preparations began for the EVA, Aldrin radioed to Earth:
               "This is the LM pilot. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and
               wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and
               to give thanks in his or her own way."

               He then took communion privately...  Aldrin was an elder at the Webster Presbyterian Church, and
               his communion kit was prepared by the pastor of the church, the Rev. Dean Woodruff. Aldrin
               described communion on the Moon and the involvement of his church and pastor in the October
               1970 edition  of  Guideposts  magazine and  in  his  book  Return  to  Earth.  Webster Presbyterian
               possesses the chalice used on the Moon and commemorates the event each year on the Sunday
               closest to July 20.

               If this were not enough, the media was even able to come up with a comment from the Reverend
               Billy Graham that appeared to give a subtle acknowledgment of the Moon landing. When President
               Richard Nixon effused that the Moon landing was “the greatest event since Creation,” Graham
               commented that there were some other events recorded in the Bible which he considered greater.
               Numerous  newspapers  and  magazines  framed  Graham’s  statement  to  make  it  appear  as  an
               admittance that the Moon landing took place.


               It is often commented that in social settings a person should avoid speaking about “religion and
               politics.” The rationale behind this social taboo is that people tend to hold very strong emotional
