[edit] Question

Was Ho Chi Min a member of Le Grand Orient de france, in the 20' before being a founder od the Parti Communiste de France. Je cherche une source.

[edit] Affaire Des Fiches

A question... what does the Affaire Des Fishes have to do with "Separation of Church and State" which is the title of the section? Either discussion of the Affaire needs to be moved to a different section or it needs to be directly tied to the topic indicated by the secton header. Blueboar 16:48, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

The main focus was on the Mass attendance of soldiers and civil servants as part of the paranoia (that affected both sides) of the Third Republic. JASpencer 20:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

That said it could go to its own section as it was quite an important event in the GOdF's history. JASpencer 20:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion of Politics

I think it is important to note that the vast majority of Grand Lodges and Grand Orients do not allow discussions of politics in the lodge. This isn't just UGLE and affiliates... many of the "irregular" GLs and GOs adhear to this tradition. GOdF is in a distinct minority on this issue. Blueboar (talk) 14:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm fine with the current wording. The only problems I had was that it could imply that political Freemasonry was insignificant (which in Europe and Latin America it wasn't) or that the French and the other Continental-style FMs acknowledge that the UGLE is in the right here. Unlike the God question I don't know much about what the GOdF thinks on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if they asserted that it was the UGLE and their ilk who were the innovators.
