Freemasonry has no single spokesman.
Freemasonry is made up of many individuals in numerous
organizations, all subordinate to the Grand Lodge within their
jurisdiction (i.e. state). None of these members or organizations
can speak for Freemasonry; that is the responsibility of each Grand
Lodge within its jurisdiction. No Masonic body nor author,
however respected, can usurp the authority of a Grand Lodge.
Freemasonry is made up of many organizations.
Masonry has many groups, each with a special social, educational,
or philanthropic focus. A man becomes a Mason in his local Lodge. Then
he joins any of the following "Appendant Bodies": the Scottish Rite,
York Rite (which includes the Royal Arch Council and Knights Templar),
Shrine, Grotto, Tall Cedars, etc.
14 U.S. Presidents were Masons:
George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James
Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Teddy
Roosevelt, William Taft, Warren Harding, F. D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman,
and Gerald Ford.
Masons have always had great influence on the U.S. Supreme Court.
From the inception of the Supreme Court in 1789 through 1940,
there never were less than three Masonic justices during term, except
on two occasions. Beginning with Mason President F. D.
Roosevelt’s terms, through the first three years of President
Richard Nixon’s term, Masons dominated the Court in a ratio of
five to four beginning in 1941 to seven to two in 1946.
Of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence 8 were Freemasons.
Of the 55 members of the Constitutional Convention, 9 were Masons.
Mason Benjamin Franklin obtained
finances and guns for the American Revolution from leading French
Masons and the French government.
Major General Benjamin Lincoln
of Revolutionary War fame, who received the sword of Cornwallis in the
surrender of Yorktown, was initiated on Christmas Day, 1780, in St.
Andrew’s Lodge, Boston, Massachusetts.
The American flag was ordered
made by Brother George Washington. It was sewn by Betsy Ross,
whose husband was a member of St. John’s Lodge, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
Out of fifty-one Grand Lodge
jurisdictions in the United States, twenty-seven have eighteen years
old as their minimum age requirement to become a Mason. Six have
nineteen years old, and eighteen have twenty-one years old as their
minimum age requirement.
Most people are aware of the
fact that the Statue of Liberty was a gift of the French people after
their own republic came into existence. However, many are not
aware that there is a Masonic link to the statue. Frederic
Bartholdi, a Mason, designed it and the Grand Lodge laid the
cornerstone of its base with Masonic Ritual.
Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin, Jr., a
member of Clear Lake Lodge # 1417 in Texas, when he stepped onto the
surface of the moon, carried a special deputation from his Grand Master
to claim the moon as being in the territorial jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodge of Texas. Other astronauts who were Masons include John
Glenn.
