  • Freemasonry Unites Behind Demolay Four Years AFTER the Death of The
    Freemasonry Unites Behind DeMolay Four years AFTER the death of the Founder, Dad Frank S. Land, an historic moment for the Order of DeMolay took place on February 21, 1963 in Washington, D.C. Ten presiding officers of national and international Masonic Bodies signed a “Declaration of Principles” in support of the Order of DeMolay. The signing took place in special ceremonies for the purpose, at the House of the Temple of the Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Masonic Jurisdiction. At that time, DeMolay had over 170,000 active members in 2500 Chapters across 12 countries. This provided a huge boost to DeMolay’s prestige and desirability to Masons throughout the world. Participating were the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, the Scottish Rite Supreme Councils of the Northern and Southern Masonic Jurisdictions, the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, the Genera Grand Council of Royal and Select Master Masons, the Shrine of North America, the Grotto Supreme Council, the Red Cross of Constantine, the Royal Order of Scotland and the Conference of Grand Masters of North America. Basically, the declaration pointed out the faith and interest that was manifested in DeMolay, and pledges of individual support as well as organizational support were made. The pledged support included both moral and financial, with no intention or desire on the signers’ part to determine DeMolay policy. On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of DeMolay, the heads of these organizations reaffirmed these beliefs by again signing the Declaration on March 18, 1969 in Kansas City, Missouri, during the annual Supreme Council session.

  • FREEMASONRY and the VATICAN
    FREEMASONRY and the VATICAN A STRUGGLE FOR RECOGNITION Translated from the French of VICOMTE LEON DE PONCINS by Timothy Tindal-Robertson WHEREAS before the war it was little known or discussed, Freemasonry today commands an ever-growing and informed audience which has called forth much serious literature and has even provoked television documentary films which have aroused widespread interest. Freemasonry and the Vatican is the latest book dealing with an entirely new phase in the orientation of Masonry in the modern world. There is at present in Catholic circles a constant, subtle and determined campaign in favour of Freemasonry. It is directed by the progressive element which is currently enjoying a great influence in French and American Church circles and beginning to show its hand in England too. Its avowed object is to obtain from the Vatican the revision or even annulment of the various condemnations pronounced by the Popes upon the Craft since 1738. This element consists of a number of priests, including a Jesuit, Editors of Catholic newspapers and several writers of note. In this new work, Vicomte de Poncins emphatically reinforces the Church's condemnations of Freemasonry, which, as he shows, have been renewed more than six times since the Second World War and he quotes from authoritative Masonic documents, hitherto unknown to the English reader. Although the author is mainly concerned with Grand Orient Freemasonry, he treats in some detail the question of Masonic Regularity and Irregularity and the oft-disputed relationship of the Anglo-Saxon with the Grand Orient Obediences, and brings to light startling and valuable new evidence on the origins of Anderson's Constitutions and the Grand Lodge of England.

  • RCC-Booklet-2019.Pdf
    The Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine and the Orders of the Holy Sepulchre and of St. John the Evangelist Surrey Division The opinions expressed in this booklet are entirely those of the authors and do not in any way represent any official interpretation by the Order. Foreword I am delighted to be able to introduce you to this very informative booklet written by our past Grand Eusebius, Rt.Ill.and Venerable Knight, Peter Blackwell-Smyth. There are also several good books on our Order written by our Grand Historiographer Rt.Ill. Kt. Keith Barry Jackson. The History of The Red Cross of Constantine is quite long and complicated, so trying to make it readable and easy to digest is quite a challenge but I think this booklet has succeeded. It is easy to understand and makes a good read. The booklet has already been upgraded and revised and I am sure there will be more suggestions to come. It is however an excellent introduction to this beautiful Christian Order, to which we are all proud and happy to belong. Rt. Ill. Kt. Bob Hancock, Intendant General Surrey Division March 2019 Welcome Welcome to The Red Cross of Constantine. This is the shortened name for our lovely Christian Order. Its full title is The Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine and the Orders of the Holy Sepulchre and of St. John the Evangelist. Our Order is Masonic because only Royal Arch Masons are eligible to apply for membership. Secondly our Order is Military because it belongs to the Chivalric Orders of Freemasonry which include the Knights Templar.
