You must conceal all the crimes of your brother mason, except murder and treason, and these only at your own option and should you be summoned as a witness against a brother mason be always sure to shield him. Prevaricate, don't tell the whole truth in this case, keep his secrets forget the most important points. It may be perjury to do this, it is true, but you're keeping you obligations and remember if you live up to your obligation stricly, you'll be free from sin

The point is, they did not as the person who did this wasnt an employee. Im not saying they are or arent liable to be sued for it. But the point remains, they themselves did not do it.
What is so hard to understand?
You can say there is no clear theory, but in the article in in fact says what I presented was the most agreed upon theory. Hardly ' not clear'edit on 1-1-2013 by bknapple32 because: (no reason given)

Do you think Walt Disney was sitting in his office one day and decided to do that to the children?
Do you think the artist working for Disney decided to create those images?
The images were created on an individual basis, by demons. Not people. The artist is not aware of what was created until later when it is too late. It happens much more often than people realize. I can show you an example.
The following picture is of the logo used by The Greater Boston Food Bank in Boston. The building is new enough having been built shortly after the tunnel was finished. The first time I saw this image, I thought it looked like an asteroid hitting the atmosphere and then the planet.
Now you might think, why would you think such a thing because it looks nothing like that?
That is what I saw because of the image on the building which is in the following picture.

They seem to change as well here are the closest ones from a 1923 reprint of the 1917 revised edition (Published by ezara a. cook)
"Giving testimony against a brother mason in court which oath is to be obeyed? This or the legal oath?"
p171.

"Will a masonic juror obey this or his legal oath? which?"

I could be speaking out of turn because I have not followed the whole book thing too closely.... But this is what shows up on page 220 that you are quoting:
In the Master Mason's degree murder and treason are excepted or left to one's own option but here no crime is excepted - the bishop and preacher being bound under oath to keep all criminal acts of a companion Royal Arch Mason coming to their knowledge profoundly secret. This is simply wicked beyond expression."
Quote above is found as a FOOTNOTE which is referencing the Royal Arch Oath:
I do furthermore promise and swear, that I will keep the secrets of a companion Royal Arch Mason when given to and received by me as such sacred and inviolable.
So...it seems to me that the footnote you are pointing out is referring to the bishops and preachers (don't they already withhold criminal reporting? Isn't that why the Catholic church was found liable in the sex crimes against children? Because they didn't report priest abuses?)...and subsequently states disapproval with this practice.
Just my .02....take it for what it's worth.

The conflict thesis, which holds that religion and science have been in conflict continuously throughout history, was popularized in the 19th century by John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White. Most contemporary historians of science now reject the conflict thesis in its original form, arguing instead that it has been superseded by subsequent historical research indicating a more nuanced understanding
Today, much of the scholarship in which the conflict thesis was originally based is considered to be inaccurate. For instance, the claim that people of the Middle Ages widely believed that the Earth was flat was first propagated in the same period that originated the conflict thesis[11] and is still very common in popular culture. Modern scholars regard this claim as mistaken, as the contemporary historians of science David C. Lindberg and Ronald L. Numbers write: "there was scarcely a Christian scholar of the Middle Ages who did not acknowledge [earth's] sphericity and even know its approximate circumference."[11][12]
Other misconceptions such as: "the Church prohibited autopsies and dissections during the Middle Ages," "the rise of Christianity killed off ancient science," and "the medieval Christian church suppressed the growth of the natural sciences," are all reported by Numbers as examples of widely popular myths that still pass as historical truth, even though they are not supported by current historical research. They help maintain the popular image of "the warfare of science and religion."[13]
While H. Floris Cohen states that most scholars reject crude articulations of the conflict thesis, such as Andrew D. White's, he also states that milder versions of this thesis still hold some sway. This is because "it remains an incontrovertible fact of history that, to say the least, the new science was accorded a less than enthusiastic acclaim by many religious authorities at the time." Cohen therefore considers it paradoxical "that the rise of early modern science was due at least in part to developments in Christian thought—in particular, to certain aspects of Protestantism" (a thesis first developed as what is now sometimes called the Merton thesis).[14]
