Fascinating Premise

The premise of this book is fascinating--that the split between the Catholic Church and Freemasonry can be reduced to a clash between patriarchal (the Church) and matriarchal (Freemasons) views of the godhead. I don't think the author conclusively proves his case, but he definitely puts enough evidence out there to get to the jury. I relied on this book in researching a novel about Templars in American, Cabal of The Westford Knight: Templars at the Newport Tower, and found it very helpful and informative. Recommended for readers looking to delve deeper into the history of the Templars and Freemasons.
