The Grand Lodge of Louisiana defines any lodge that operates within the borders of the state of Louisiana that is NOT a subordinate lodge of the GL of Louisiana to be clandestine.
For any grand lodge to give recognition to and have fraternal relations with any other grand lodge or lodge that operates within its state borders would require the sharing of jurisdiction. In essence the original GL would be relinquishing its rights of being supreme within its own jurisdiction.
The way I see it the GL of Louisiana, which was chartered in 1812 when Louisiana first became a state, was here first and is absolutely supreme in its own jurisdiction. Why should we share our jurisdiction with anyone else?
That would be the same as having two presidents of the USA or a state having two governors.... or two mayors of the same city.
This could also apply to football. Football teams that use two starting quarterbacks don't usually have a good season. I think LSU might be the one exception to that. lol
I know that this is not exactly what this thread was about but its something to think about when considering the word or terminology clandestine.
