My small home town had Freemasons who worked their backsides off supporting the community, so I know that it’s really a case of some bad apples in a barrel. People saw the good things they did in the community and wanted to join, so I imagine the Masons are always recruiting. It’s amazing how evil gravitates toward centers of community and organization (along with money, power). :(

I am by no means a student of Freemasonry. What I know is that continental European differs from North American and British freemasonry.

I would say in almost all cases, North American freemasonry is a civic organization devoted to the local community and its members.

Continental freemasonry seems devoted to political intrigue especially in Italy, France and Latin America.

They all have secrecy common.
