Masons in Mexico
Alpha Sig...your masonic experiences in Mexico are radically different from mine. I am fluent in Spanish (50 years) and have
been a 32 degree and Shriner longer than most of you have lived.
The Yorquinos and Escoceses were political parties, gone for ages. Once upon a time Masonry thrived in Mexico. Benito Juarez
who did not even speak Spanish 'til he was 12, was one...
While at a Shrine convention in Mexico City, we were told not to
wear our fezzes outside. When I lived in Mexico City I was told
not to wear masonic jewelry. Hostility was rampant, and it was,
of course, mostly catholic-generated . Naw, I found Mexico
anything but friendly, mason-wise. Better take a second look at
the south of the border 'fore expanding. There is a lot of subtle
unkindness...you all likely know that, though.
