It's not easy to understand, I'm not sure if I interpreted it correctly. It appears as though what the Grand Lodge of Cuba is saying is essentially, "GL of FL demands we do something about certain lodges it claims are operating within its territory, but we never chartered any such lodges, we have nothing to do with them, and so it's not up to us to do anything about them."<br /><br />Did I get the gist of it? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. And if I'm right, I have to say I agree with that position. A Grand Lodge should only have to answer for the lodges it charters. A clandestine lodge operating without a charter in someone else's jurisdiction is none of its concern, it's Florida's problem regardless of the nationality of the Masons involved.gotham77https://www.blogger.com/profile/06673302463186612933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-44627232051844987062017-02-22T20:45:07.740-05:002017-02-22T20:45:07.740-05:00You may be thinking of the Grand Lodge of Iran.

Those exiled Brothers came from Cuba and they should never have deemed them Clandestine to begin with. I dont know if there are any Spanish speaking Lodges in Florida, but if not then they should have had no problem. I believe the Cubans in Florida, especially the ones who dont speak English, need a place to meet as Masons. I wonder if it would've been different if Cuba would've simply chartered Lodges in Florida for their exiled members without forming a Grand Lodge.W.Bro.

I respect my "mainstream" counterparts, but it seems like it's excuses with them (not all) and recognizing other Grand Lodges. When it comes to PHA, it's like the effort is not put forward the way they try and recognize these other lodges.
