The Regular Grand Lodge of Italy ...Hi Christopher:<br /><br />The Regular Grand Lodge of Italy was not founded in 1972, but rather 1993, backed by the UGLE during a period of arrests and investigation by the Italian police known as "Clean Hands", that affected the Mafia and some (though not many) Lodges of the Grand Orient of Italy. At first there was a growing number of Grand Lodges that withdraw the recognition of the GO, but they never extended it to the GL. As the situation returned to normal and severe anti-Mafia measures where introduced, the GO was again recognized by the vast majority of the Regular world.<br /><br />In 1972 the UGLE recognized the Grand Orient of Italy.<br /><br />Bro.

There will be more calls for a register of Brethren (one existed for quite a while years ago) and prohibitions against civil servants being Freemasons (even though such prohibitions are now illegal). Sometimes I despair. When a minister is convicted of some felony, no one suggests that all ministers should register on a government list or that their religion should be banned.<br /><br />W.Bro Chris Hansen, PMChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534842755063770798noreply@blogger.com
