Opinions on freemasonry vary greatly by order and degree. Does anyone have details on this fellow's particulars? In some orders, I understand, a Master Mason is only 3rd degree, and his privilege to the knowledge of the 'craft' may be very limited.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.156.34.159 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
S. Brent Morris is a noted, and notable, Masonic author, who, while he holds the "highest degree" in Masonry (Master Mason, or third degree) is also a member of the AASR, and holds the 33rd degree in that body, as well as the Grand Cross of the Court of Honor with them as well.[1] However, the suggestion that those who are of the 3rd degree don't know all the secrets of freemasonry, that only 32nds really know the truth, or, when confronted with a 32nd who says "none of this conspiracy stuff is in what I have learned" only 33rds, and so on, is a wild and untenable theory. Many Masons may have their differing opinions on the origins of Masonry, however, Brent has done a lot of the primary source research into, and continues to study the theories and evidence.--Vidkun (talk) 20:17, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Brent was recently elected as the Master of Quatuor Coronati Lodge, the premier lodge of research in the UK. He was the first American to be so honored. This should probably be mentioned if we can back it with a good source. Blueboar (talk) 04:00, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
