This week, how critical is the idea of an individual degree and an individual catechism to the future of Freemasonry? We'll explore a piece by William H. Boyd in which he outlines the several reasons why the future of the Craft depends on the practice of individual degrees and catechisms. Then, we'll talk about the investigation committee and the concerns of a Grand Lodge in the 1950s. As the Grand Lodge put it, is there a “serious lack of discretion?” We'll explore some of the questions that we are charged to find the answers to within the Investigation committee and talk about how things have changed over the years. Lastly, I read my response from a festive board on the idea of World-Wide Brotherhood. What does it mean to truly be a brotherhood that spans the world? What makes us brothers? It's not just the obligation--it's something deeper. All this and more, stay tuned.

por Gisela Blanco Uma guerra entre irmãos de fraternidade resultou na independência dos Estados Unidos — e na criação do país mais maçônico do mundo Imagine a seguinte cena: nos Estados Unidos do século 18, colonos travam uma luta feroz contra soldados da Coroa britânica. Os primeiros querem fundar um país e estão dispostos a morrer pela independência. As tropas imperiais, por outro lado, estão ali para esmagar sem piedade toda e qualquer rebelião. Depois de um longo dia de combates, um general das forças rebeldes deixa o front direto para uma loja maçônica. E ao seu lado, como se não houvesse guerra nenhuma em curso, senta-se o inimigo — um oficial inglês que também é maçom. Ali dentro, os dois ignoram convicções políticas, princípios religiosos e classes sociais. Como velhos amigos — ou melhor, irmãos de fraternidade —, tomam parte de cerimônias repletas de simbologia, compartilham juramentos secretos e elegem democraticamente um líder. No dia seguinte, eles voltam a pegar em armas, um contra o outro. Parece improvável, mas a situação que acaba de ser descrita era comum na América colonial. Tanto os pais da independência americana — Benjamin Franklin e George Washington, só para citar os mais famosos — quanto os mais graduados oficiais ingleses eram maçons. Isso porque, nos Estados Unidos daquela época, pertencer à maçonaria dava o maior prestígio. E não obrigava ninguém a viver na clandestinidade. Isso explica, pelo menos em parte, por que os americanos acabaram construindo o maior país maçônico do mundo Lá, fazer parte da fraternidade nunca teve nada de suspeito ou obscuro. “Fora um período de perseguição entre 1826 e 1840, a maçonaria sempre foi muito aberta nos Estados Unidos”, diz o pesquisador americano Chris Hodapp, autor de sete livros sobre a ordem. Frequentar uma loja maçônica, segundo ele, significava estreitar os laços de amizade com gente importante — entre os frequentadores assíduos havia juízes, fiscais da receita, oficiais do Exército e da Marinha... Até governadores. Antes mesmo de ser inaugurado o primeiro templo em solo americano, no ano de 1730, os maçons já eram numerosos nos Estados Unidos — todos iniciados em lojas do Reino Unido. REAÇÃO INEVITÁVEL As lojas maçônicas eram lugares onde já se praticava democracia muito antes de ela ganhar as ruas. Para começar, a maçonaria aceitava — e continua aceitando — gente de todos os credos e classes sociais. “Nas reuniões, homens de qualquer idade, fé e nível socioeconômico podiam votar democraticamente em seus líderes”, diz Hodapp. Natural, portanto, que algumas dessas ideias tão progressistas acabassem virando combustível para --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/malhete-podcast/message

Blue Lightning | A Conversation with Bro. Chris Hodapp On this episode of The Winding Stairs, we tackle a very contentious topic, One Day Classes. I recently asked The Winding Stairs Facebook Group Members "What is your opinion about One Day Classes in Freemasonry?" and the result was shocking. Not only did I discover that the majority of respondents had a negative opinion regarding One Day Classes, but many held some sort of animosity towards Brothers who have joined the fraternity in this manner. Dismayed by this negativity, I contacted Brother Chris Hodapp, author of Freemasons for Dummies, to learn more one-day classes, their effectiveness, and how Brothers should handle discussions about this topic. In this candid conversation, you will learn: I hope that you find this episode edifying. Do you enjoy The Winding Stairs?
