Why are we reading the Regius Manuscript now, if it is the oldest known Masonic manuscript?

Why didn't we read it first and then move on from there?

What does it say?

Where did it come from?

Who wrote it?

How do we know that it pertains to Freemasonry?

Have you ever read this manuscript, let alone known that it existed?

Let us read what it says and then have a discussion about it.

The Ars Quatour Coronati has a page dedicated to the Constitutions of the Freemasons @https://www.1723constitutions.com

It covers many areas of this important document and even goes in depth with some of the important masons who helped create Anderson's Constitutions.

It's not a long article, and after reading it, one gets the impression that there isn't much of importance for us here.

What does the Curmudgeon have to say about this?

In part two of the Catholic Encyclopedia article of 1910 on (Masonry)Freemasonry, the Curmudgeon Supreme and I will finish up what we wanted to read.

The article is 32 pages long and is well written, and cites its source documentation from the time.

They made it very clear from the beginning that they would only cite the best and most respected Masonic Scholars and authors.

Will it shine any more light on its origins, secrets, and symbols?

Let's find out.

What does an article published in 1910 in the Catholic Encyclopedia about (Masonry)Freemasonry have to say about the mysterious origins of Freemasonry?

The Curmudgeon Supreme read this article and was surprised as to the amount of information it contained and the other secret societies it mentions.

In 171 7 four or more older lodges got together and decided to form a Grand Lodge of England. 21 years later, the Catholic church issued a Papal Bull prohibiting any catholic from ever becoming a Mason due to irreconcilable differences.

What did those Catholic Brothers discover in the 21 years of research that was done before the Pope issued his Bull?

What does this article say about the mysterious origins of Freemasonry?

Why did the church react so negatively towards this society?

I've been contemplating some questions that have been bouncing around in my head lately.

MasonicCon is back at South Pasadena Lodge No.290

How many of you have read the ancient Masonic documents/

What impressions did they make?

Has it made you wonder what Freemasonry truly is?

What is Freemasonry?

The numbers don't lie!

Is the Curmudgeon correct with his numbers?

In this episode, I go over a list of 12 Origin Theories of Freemasonry and ask the Curmudgeon Supreme how much he knows about any of these theories. This list was found in a book called the Royal Masonic Cyclopedia.

Has he ever heard of any of these?

Does he have a favorite?

Will any of these pique his curiosity?

Will his giant head blow up from too many theories?

What are these twelve theories, and do any of these have any merit?

I go solo and discuss the Summer Solstice, the Feast of St. John the Baptist, health, aging, the cycles of Freemasonry, and Roxy the English Bulldog. She's a fatty.

What is your lodge doing to celebrate the Holy Saints John the Baptist Day?

How are you staying in tune with the Masonic Cycles of the year?

Why should a lodge celebrate this day?

Why is Roxy so fat even though she is just a baby?

All these topics and more will be discussed.

In our last episode, we read the Cook Manuscript of 1450.

In this episode, The Curmudgeon Supreme and I share our observations on the Cook Manuscript of 1450.

Why does it seem like this masonic manuscript is far more interesting than Anderson's 1723 Constitutions of the Free-Masons?

Why are the Liberal Arts and Sciences taking such a prominent role in a document held by illiterate stone masons?

Where did these stone masons get all of these stories?

When was the original manuscript written/

Who wrote it?

And why is the Curmudgeon breathing so hard into the mic.....Again?

These are all mysteries we must unravel.

Let's continue to explore this together.
