It's also from this group the Mason's history origin.
But that's an other story.


Balls.  The Masons as known today came into being in the eighteenth
century.  They have *no* organic links with the medieval stonemasons,
the Knights Templar or my illustrious ancestor Fred Edwards the
fishmonger.  The fact that they subsequently made up such
connections, along with relevant degrees and rituals, is beside the
point.  After all, the Roman bishopric thinks it was instituted by a
failed Judean rebel.


The really interesting thing is how the Franciscan Order could have
existed before Saint Francis. I suppose we'll have to wait and judge
the evidence before we dismiss the idea.



Yes, you never know how a cow is catching a hare.
