International Masonic Union Catena

International Masonic Union Catena

The International Masonic Union Catena is an international organization of Masonic organizations. The organizations involved are considered irregular by the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) and most other Anglo-Saxon Grand Lodges.

History

The organization was created in 1961 by the Nederlandse Grootloge der Gemengde Vrijmetsalerij, Humanitas – Freimaurergroßloge für Frauen und Männer in Deutschland and Österreichischer Universaler Freimaurerorden - Humanitas. It is only for mixed masonic organizations.

The Catena is open only to lodges that acknowledge a Supreme Being (Great Architect of the Universe). [ [http://www.freemasons-freemasonry.com/pope7.html AT A PERPETUAL DISTANCE: LIBERAL AND ADOGMATIC GRAND LODGES] , Tony Pope, Pietre Stones Review of Freemasonry]
