@Ephraimite , I am now mystified by this conflict of Freemasons and Mormons...my hunch is it had a deep impact on the history of the USA - more than most people realise .
On one of my earliest trips to the US , the first time ever I came across references to these two entities is when I found a "Freemason Bible" or a "Mormon Bible" , kept inside the bedside drawer of Hotel rooms in the US...at that time I used to wonder what Freemason or Mormon even means !
