The definition of clandestine is being perverted by those who "claim" Masonry is their's.
"Clandestine Free-Masonry is composed of groups claiming to be Free-Masons who meet in secret for some nefarious purpose such as political or religious subversion. These groups are not Masonic and have the potential to be dangerous. Clandestine Masonry is also irregular by definition, because it is a violation of Masonic tradition and law to discuss religion or politics in Lodge."
The only group that is meeting secretly is the Conference of Grand Masters of North America. No one can attend this meeting unless you are a GL Officer or an SGIG. Who gives them authority to claim who is or is not clandestine when they rule by each jurisdiction?
Anyway who needs their recognition to exsit?
The way these several GL's rule by fear why would anyone want to stay part of these GL's whose tyrannical reign is un-democractic? Anytime a Master Mason of these jurisdictions ask the arong question these "brothers" attempt to ruin that Master Masons character they go into self-protect mode. What type of brotherhood is that??
