The structure is owned by someone: a lodge, a temple association... Whatever entity that holds title to the building would have standing.

In Modern Free, the injunctive relief issued. I don’t have a comprehensive recollection of the others. I should refer you to Cerza, Freemasonry in the Courts (1986).

I think you mean un-masonic. There is no one standard for that. Yes, there are some jurisdictions where it is considered inappropriate “to go to law” against another mason. I’m unaware of any jurisdiction in which a mason or masonic body may not engage in litigation. There are PHA cases with...

A mantle was in the medieval period not limited to clergy. I would not consider KT a church order. The decrease in fraternal numbers is not limited to KT, and so I would not think it is a matter of Christianity. I do think that participation in active worship tracks participation in the...

Well, my point wasn’t clear. Some US commanderies do cap and mantle. No York Rite in England. Chapter, R&S, and Preceptory are separate. They have diminished numbers.

To be more precise, Commandery in your area.

Swine flu deaths are estimated at 12,000 in the US. Covid deaths are estimated at 177,179 in the US (in about half the reporting period). https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/qa/how-many-deaths-were-caused-by-swine-flu-in-the-us

See the quote from BC&Y, above.

I was addressing your statement: "I didn't mean as to say to enter onto the lodges premises. lol i meant like sit outside in your car on public property and get a vibe so to speak."

Vibes are for masons.

Yes, that would be unwise, and may result in a trespass order.

Noting that the AF was, in my time, more liberal on fraternization issues (and Marines most severe), it was my experience that in both church and lodge we used Brother Cook, not first names. We never had problems with being invited to a superior’s house.

I hesitate to move too far from the purpose of the group, but two points: Fewer than 500 bird flu deaths have been reported to the World Health Organization since 1997, per the Mayo Clinic. To what would you attribute the 200,000 additional deaths in the United States March to date this year...

I do like the BC&Y site. Had Paul Bessel’s site continued, combined they would be a masonic encyclopedia.

I remember being addressed as Sir while in civilian clothes on base, and realizing I was approaching a certain age. On a separate note, all my children were taught to use Sir and Ma’am, I actually had to call and correct a teacher who thought my daughter was being a smart aleck (not an...

In my view, it is a power of the GM. To further quote from Br. Mackey: 'an Occasional Lodge,' specially convened by him, and consisting of such Master Masons as he may call together for that purpose only; the Lodge ceasing to exist as soon as the initiation, passing, or raising has been...

There is no requirement that everyone meet with you.
