Old Fashion Masonic Podcast – EPISODE 37 – HAVE WE OPENED THE DOORS TO FREEMASONRY TOO MUCH?

Freemasonry is a secretive fraternal organization that has been around for centuries, and its membership requirements and practices vary across different jurisdictions and lodges. The level of secrecy and exclusivity has been a defining aspect of Freemasonry throughout its history.Show more

In recent years, there has been a shift towards greater openness and transparency in some Masonic jurisdictions. This has resulted in increased efforts to demystify Freemasonry and make it more accessible to the public. Some lodges have become more proactive in engaging with their communities, promoting charitable work, and recruiting new members.

While the increased openness may have attracted more individuals to join Freemasonry, it doesn't necessarily mean that the quality of membership is suffering. The quality of membership depends on the selection process, the adherence to Masonic principles and values, and the dedication of individual members to upholding the traditions and teachings of Freemasonry.

Freemasonry places a strong emphasis on personal character, integrity, and moral values. Lodges typically have their own selection procedures and strive to ensure that prospective members meet certain criteria. The decision to admit new members ultimately lies with the lodge, and they have the responsibility to maintain the standards and principles of Freemasonry.

While increased openness may lead to a larger and more diverse membership, it doesn't necessarily mean a decline in quality. The ongoing commitment of individual Masons to upholding the principles and teachings of Freemasonry is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the organization.
