". . . the meanwhile, when I've spoken with my favorite Mason about this topic, he doesn't deny that the moral lessons given by Masonry rest on natural revelation rather than Divine revelation . . ."
I suspect that is a Scottish Rite group, but I don't know.
Really, all the moral lessons I know of center around the building of King Soloman's temple, the flight from Egypt, etc.
Dear MeanWestTexan,
I'd be inclined to say that the same is true of the York rite ceremonials. I have a book of York rite-related ceremonials. I'll have to go back and re-read some of it (I hate to do it - it's in really small print and so far I've resisted getting reading glasses - so I have to hold the book about two feet from my face in order to read it).
However, my impression from previous readings was that although the imagery used was explicitly Judeo-Christian, I felt that the statement that the moral lessons were drawn from natural revelation still applied, at least as understood from a Catholic perspective.
