Diggit:

"Until 1989 the only American foundation that had made any substantial contribution to schizophrenia research was the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, headquartered in Boston. The Scottish Rite had done so in fact since 1934, funding many high-quality research projects during years when virtually no other research funds were available. It has continued to run this program, and to be an important source of funds for researchers on schizophrenia."
-- E. Fuller Torrey, MD; Surviving Schizophrenia: A Manual for Families, Consumers, and Providers; Chapter 6: What Causes Schizophrenia?; Funding for Schizophrenia Research (paperback,p.173)

Ahem.

Because the Masonic order began as a subversive and revolutionary organization battling both Monarchs and the established church.

ah... and they never bothered/managed to get the status changed?

Actually.....we never changed.

Its just that in the USA the order has no tyrants to battle and has settled into a mundane life of doing good works.

But Masonic lodges exist everywhere and in places like Iran and Red China we continue to be both secret and revolutionary.
