Chris,<BR/><BR/>Correction is needed.<BR/><BR/>The Grand Master of Portugal, Most Worshipful Brother Mário Martin Guia is <BR/>fortunately alive and in good health.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Almiro Marques belonged to a clandestine Masonic stile organisation.<BR/><BR/>It was organised from a scission in 1996 in Portuguese Regular Masonry, which calls itself Regular Grand Lodge of Portugal. To avoid confusions the only internationally recognised Portuguese Regular Masonic Body (also the only one recognised by all American Regular Grand Lodges) decided to change its name to Portuguese Regular Grand Lodge (Legal).This is The Regular Body under the current leadership of Brother Mário Martin Guia.<BR/><BR/>This said, and different paths aside, I would like to express my condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Almiro Marques, who was personally a fine man, a respected lawyer and a gentleman. <BR/><BR/>Rui Bandeira<BR/>PM Loja Mestre Affonso Domingues, # 5 Portuguese Regular Grand Lodge (Legal)<BR/>Blog A Partir PedraRui Bandeirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822463325489356150noreply@blogger.com
