The Epiphany

Gassicourt_sg

A victim of political and personal persecution, Charles L. Cadet-Gassincourt (1769-1821), blamed the Freemasons for his troubles and became a fervent anti-Mason.  He published the book "The Fall of Jacques DeMolay," in which he claimed Freemasonry was the cause of all European political dysfunction.  In his vehement detestation of Freemasonry he became obsessed with researching its failings.  His prolific research into the Craft led him to a stunning conclusion: that his accusations against Freemasonry were untrue and it was a worthy and just fraternity.  Having had this epiphany, he petitioned Lodge l'Abeille in Paris, and became its Master in 1805!
