“The fraternity has no business making calls for it’s members faith.”
The fraternity makes a requirement of faith, does it not? No faith, no membership. Aren’t there some lodges who still preclude the LDS as members? Why were they excluded at all to begin with?
“That’s the individuals choice.”
The fraternity already requires a belief in God, that isn’t the individuals choice. They could easily require that their member’s faith allows memebership in the Masons. Having a requirement of faith then allowing their memebers to disobey the teaching of said faith by joining the Masons would seem to defeat the purpose of the requirement in the first place.

It comes down to choice. You have the CHOICE to join the fraternity that of which requires you to believe in God. It doesn’t choose your faith or it’s requirements for you nor force you to pick which or what to follow. The way you put it, the fraternity should also not allow it’s membership to eat meat on a Friday during lent when they are serving steak at a banquet they hold on said Friday and any of 1000s of other specific rules. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
It’s like beating your head against a wall. Reread what I wrote last. The same response applies.
