Support our work by joining us on https://www.patreon.com/SapereAudeLectureIn 2024, the word "Masonophobia" is taking center stage in discussions surrounding Freemasonry. But what exactly does it mean? Contrary to anti-Masonry, Masonophobia describes the intense and often malicious attacks faced by Freemasons and the institution as a whole. With prominent figures like Harry S. Truman and Winston Churchill being Freemasons, the defense of the Craft has evolved over time. However, as society changes, so do the challenges faced by Freemasonry. The term "Masonophobia" aims to clearly label those who attack Freemasons with spite and venom, providing a powerful tool to combat such negativity. Watch this video to delve deeper into the significance of this term and its potential impact on the perception of Freemasonry in modern times. Let's explore the importance of language in shaping the narrative surrounding Freemasonry and how the term "Masonophobia" could be a game-changer in the ongoing discourse.https://www.robertldcooper.org/books/

Support our work by joining us on https://www.patreon.com/SapereAudeLectureFreemasonry: A Very Short Introduction, Andreas Önnerfors Very Short Introductions, Oxford University Press The author introduces his book which presents that Freemasonry is one of the oldest and most widespread voluntary organizations in the world. Over the course of three centuries men (and women) have organized themselves socially and voluntarily under its name. With a strong sense of liberation, moral enlightenment, cosmopolitan openness and forward-looking philanthropy, freemasonry has attracted some of the sharpest minds in history and has created a strong platform for nascent civil societies across the globe. With the secrecy of internally communicated knowledge, the clandestine character of organization, and the enactment of rituals and the elaborate use of symbols, freemasonry has also opened up feelings of distrust, as well as allegations of secretiveness and conspiracy. This Very Short Introduction introduces the inner activities of freemasonry, and the rituals, symbols and practices. Looking at the development of the organizational structure of masonry from the local to the global level, Andreas Önnerfors considers perceptions of freemasonry from the outside world and navigates through the prevalent fictions and conspiracy theories. He also discusses how freemasonry has from its outset struggled with issues of exclusion based upon gender, race and religion, despite promoting tolerant openness and inclusion. Finally, Önnerfors shines a light on the rarely discussed but highly compelling history of female agency in Masonic and Para-Masonic orders.1. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/freemasonry-a-very-short-introduction-9780198796275
