It is difficult to say that any fraternal group is good or bad. It depends on whether you believe in the purpose of the particular group. Freemasons have been around for centuries, but certain Christian denominations were opposed to them because the Freemasons were not (and still are not) based around a belief in Christianity. Back in the early years of Freemasonry, society was dominated by religious organizations, and the Freemasons were looked upon with suspicion because they refused to align with any religion, and because they seemed to be skeptical about religion.
Also, the Freemasons had secret rituals, and non-members wondered what was going on in their meetings. Many rumors were spread about Freemasonry, and to this day, there are some people who believe the worst about what Freemasons do. In modern times, Freemasons have become more willing to explain their rituals to outsiders, and they have a website where questions can be submitted. It is worth noting that history has shown that Freemasonry is not sinister or evil. In fact, a number of very famous men (it's an all-male organization) have been members. Among the best-known are George Washington (America's first president) and composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Freemasons think so. Membership in a Masonic Lodge enables you to make new friends anywhere in the world. It enables you to help encourage the practise of virtue in society by individuals and organizations. Masonic charities provide a way to help others and demonstrate the virtue of benevolence. Participation in rituals and other functions encourages self-confidence and abilities as a speaker. Most of all, Freemasonry makes you think--about who you are, where you are going, and what your place is in the world. Freemasonry is a good place to go to find out more about yourself, and to find it in a context that has a solid basis in tradition and history.
Yes, if you feel that you support the values and principles of the organization and are prepared to make a sincere effort. Freemasonry, like most organizations, gives gack to you in proportion to what you give to it in terms of time, effort, and personal commitment.

You need a sponsor (member) to join.
None. Catholics, particularly members of the clergy, are forbidden from joining the Masons.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) currently has no official policies regarding Freemasons or Freemasonry. Mormons are allowed to be Freemasons and Freemasons are allowed to be Mormons, but Mormon Freemasons are asked to put their religious obligations ahead of their obligations to Freemasonry. For a short period of time, this was not the case, and Mormons were asked to avoid joining the Freemasons and other fraternal organizations.
The Catholic Church has always forbidden Catholics from joining the Masons and that rule has not changed today. Therefore, there are few, if any, Catholics in the Masons and those that are do so in violation of Catholic rulings.
it depends on what they do to you.
