France: Where Freemasons Are Still Feared

If you think Freemasonry is an homogeneous organisation, I suggest you read this article by Joshua Levine:

It discusses how Freemasonry in France has evolved into three different organisations that differs markedly from the Anglo-Saxon model. An interesting and witty article that basically evolves around French voyeurism and speculation into the nature of these three organisations. Or, in the words of as a fantastic quote from The  Simpsons.... "What is your fascination with my secret closet of mystery?" (Chief Wiggum in "This Little Wiggy", 1998). Needless to say, the discussion bears little resemblance to the Freemasonry under United Grand Lodge of England.
