So? this is irrelevant.My Grandfather was a Freemason, an Elder in his Church, and a fine, honorable gentleman that served in WWII, would give you the shirt off his back if you really needed it - but would also ask you to stand-up and take responsibility for your own life and actions. He never told me much about the FM; however, when the Boy Scout troop I was in, sponsored by the local Catholic Church, didn’t receive the funds to go to the BS Jamboree… somehow, money was found, a driver volunteered, kids without sleeping bags and tents had them… and all the people that brought these things were members of GP’s Church and men I had seen coming and going from the FM-Hall (had to sit in the car sometimes when GP went in to fetch something). When Father objected (politely of course) all GP said, was, “Hmm, Father, I don’t rightly know how all this was done, but a shame to deprive these young men of this event when they worked so hard to go - isn’t it Father.
Coming by the house later for Coffee and Pie?”
Now I don’t know of all the reasons FM and the CC are at odds and frankly the details don’t matter to me, Church says no, that’s enough. However, I have learned enough of the details to understand why, and that took talking to people involved with FM and reading books.
