If masons are obliged to be peacfull citizens, how come some of them led the revolutions and fights for freedom?

Every mason as an individual is at its position determined by his life. A lot of them are politically very active and act in accordance to its beliefs and its consciousness. This kind of activity by members of a lodge, lodge is not allowed to give its opinions and to get involved into political disputes. Lodge is silent about this.

Not one mason can be entitled to state in the name of his Lodge or Grand Lodge, opinions and views of this kind. Only a lodge independent from political party interests or from other interest groups, can be a place of brotherly gathering by people from all social groups.

Still, all totalitarian regimes were banning work of free masons, evicted them and killed them, because they were afraid of main spiritual message that masonry has in its self – freedom, humanity, tolerance and benefaction.
