Interesting... thanks for the historical context, Brother. I have learned something today. And, naturally, it makes perfect sense that the Craft in Utah would respond as they did, within the context you have described.
Given that, then, I wonder what has changed to permit this recent chain-of-events?
I don’t really know.
It would not be right to hold a current mormon responsible for the oath-breaking of their founders.
That said, I might consider a mormon as a member of a “clandestine lodge” and thus not eligible to be a mason. I would have to think about it, though and get more information.
That said, I’ve never been confronted with the problem.
All our members are Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Jewish, or Baptist. (We also pray in Jesus’s name when the Jewish guy isn’t there, the horror!)
