As you probably know, I cannot disclose specifics about the degrees. If you go to the Scottish Rite site and download the power points to all of them, you will find your answer. Throughout all of the degrees, you will see references to Phoenician, Samaritan, Hebrew Kabbalistic symbolism, Persian and Christian doctrine including the direct teachings of Jesus Christ and his brother, Andrew. But especially look at the 24th degree, Prince of the Tabernacle. That says it all in my view. All of this in the backdrop of Egyptian and Latin (Pegan) characters. Including lots of Hermetic philosophy as well. If this does not represent the greatest teachings of all beliefs, then I don't know what does. Also, I was 13 when my parents sent me to the Seminary so, no I wasn't aware of the celibacy requirement.
