To put it concisely — not all Freemasonry is the same. While the Conservative Anglo-American Freemasonry gives itself the august title of “Regular” Freemasonry and dares to call those of us who have inherited the French, Progressive and Equally Legitimate Tradition of Freemasonry as “Irregular” and “Clandestine,” their claims as to our legitimacy are fallacies and outright lies. Progressive Freemasonry is BIG and very much INTERNATIONAL. True, we are not the Micky Dee’s of Freemasonry (like the Conservative Masons with mostly - empty lodges, built everywhere like fast food restaurants) but our quality of membership is far beyond that of the Conservative variety of Freemasonry. Additionally, we are found throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and elsewhere, numbering in the hundreds of thousands worldwide.
