I reject your assertion that this was handed out to every freemason for over 100 years. Total hogwash.
You’re clearly not understanding the structure of freemasonry or the various Grand Lodges.
Just because this book is handed out in the Scottish Rite in some areas of the country does not mean anything to masonry as a whole. And any real student of history knows the axiom, never say never and never say always.
Scottish Rite is an appendent body of masonry - meaning extra-curricular. What they do in that group, I don’t know. They aren’t bigger or better masons because of it. Their additional degrees don’t make them higher among masons.
How about if I start quoting some of the Gnostic Gospels? Are you prepared as a good Catholic to support whatever assertions were made in the Gospel of Thomas or the Gospel of Truth just because the authors may have asserted they were inspired?
I reject Pike’s commentaries as anything more than just commentary - as do all the freemasons that I personally know.
What in what I have posted as excerpts do you deny as representative of the Masonic belief system?
