Will Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Luxembourg recognize the Grand Lodge of France as regular?


Without any doubt, the regular Grand Lodges of five European countries rethink their Masonic policies regarding France. GLNF is no more recognized as the sole regular Grand Lodge in France and not even as a regular Grand Lodge.


According to the Declaration of Basel (adopted yesterday by five European Grand Masters), the Grand Lodge of France (GLdF) might be the next Grand Lodge to be recognized as regular in the French Republic. We stress that GLdF was recognized as regular long before GLNF.

The conditions to start negotiations with the GLdF are the following: to continue to work in accordance with the fundamental principles of regular Freemasonry; to sever unambiguously remaining links with irregular Obediences; to respect the international customs and traditions governing the relation between a Grand Lodge and a Supreme Council.

Therefore GLdF must (if interested) rethink its masonic strategies not only in France but also abroad. This might be understood as the fall of the Confederation of the United Grand Lodges of Europe, ending relations with the Grand Orient of France, Feminine Grand Lodge of France, Droit Humain, Traditional and Symbolic Grand Lodge "Opera" and so on.
