"I don't understand why we, as Freemasons, should be concerned about what the Pope says or thinks of our Fraternity. We are not trying to win a popularity contest are we?" • I don't think that's the reason as to why Masons like myself care. To condemn an entire group because one group says "go...

"I honestly don't think the church cares about what is regular or isn't, scholars or no scholars..." • I think it has to do with more with "knowing your enemy" than whether they care who's regular and not. Those scholars collected information regardless. But your probably right, in their eyes...

Senior Deacon. Merritt Lodge No. 168 Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

I think he is referring to both English/American Freemasonry and The GOdF and its bodies. I'm sure the Church knows quite a bit about about the Craft including regularity and what not. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it had quite an extensive amount of of knowledge about Freemasonry, there...

"We forget that, like "God", "Lord", or "Christ", neither "Lucifer" nor "Satan" are actually names. They are titles. The name of my God is not "El" ("God"--that is, the word "god"), it is also not "Adonai" (which merely means "Master"). It is not "El Shaddai" ("God all-mighty"), "Avinu" (our...

"as newkid mentioned it would be best to call it paganism " • Most pagan religions have a supreme creator or first cause at the helm. Satanism is the antithesis of all the spiritual institutions. A candidate would not be able to be obligated on a satanic bible.

Lucifer is also an archetype. The state in which his fell from was lucifer, and became satan.

Also to note, Albert Pike is by no means an authority that speaks on the behalf of Freemasonry. He was never a Grand Master, which is the highest official Masonic position. He was Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite- an appendage body that a Master Mason can join once he achieves his...

The secret teachings of all ages doesn't not reveal any of the secrets. It's not a book specifically on Freemasonry, but divulges into its philosophy. The book would probably be better understood once you are a Master Mason.

"This is the first I have heard of a PHA Lodge that cannot trace its lineage to the Premiere Lodge of England. The type of Lodge you describe, based on my experience, would represent an anomaly in PHA Freemasonry." • If I could expand on this question and ask, is this because some PHA GL came...

Thanks bro. I'm going to check those out. I'd love to hear your own interpretations though. It always interests me to see things from another perspective. If you're interested PM me. Thanks again brother.

The one thing I like about this site is that we can discuss things as masons that we normally wouldn't be able to talk to about on lodge.

Bro. Crono, Are you referring to something down the lines of morals and dogma? If so I too am searching for something, if you come across anything could you let me know, I will do the same of I do as well.

Your GL and the PHA would have to first recognize each other and have visitation rights between them for you to visit.

I've only seen an episode where they pick some odd fellows paraphernalia, never any Masonic items.

"At some point in his hiring process, Snowden signed a document promising not to reveal the Secrets he would learn in his position, under penalty of punishment by law. All military with Secret/Top Secret clearances do the same. We also take oaths as Masons, under penalty of our conscience. I...

We use the emulation here in Ontario Canada. And there definitely is no chamber of reflection.

I have come across Catholics including my family that have called me a satanist, a worshiper of idols and many more, just because I'm a Mason. I have also met Catholics, my family included, who are warm and welcoming and respect all people as Gods children. As many brethren have stated, there...

"One has an obligation to not obey illegal orders. Yes, that's a fine notion, but in practice, the judgement required to determine "the right thing" to do is often difficult in the extreme. All the more reason to revere the individual who is willing to act while knowing that he will likely be...
