  • The P2 Lodge, until its dissolution in 1982 due to the Anselmi-Spadolini law, was a regular lodge of the Grand Orient of Italy, as attested by extensive documentation that passed between the grand masters Gamberini, Salvini and Battelli on the one hand and Licio Gelli on the other.
Peter Gomez:The existence of the Propaganda Due Lodge was known, but it was not known who exactly its members were?
Giuliano Di Bernardo:Grand Masters knew it, because the Grand Masters signed the badges. The cards of the P2 affiliates bore the signature of the Grand Master, therefore they were all effective members of the Grand Orient of Italy.
  • The Spanish Republic did not find itself free of obligations. For the most part the leaders were Freemasons. Before their duty to their country came their obligations to the Grand Orient. In my opinion, Freemasonry, with all its international influence, is the organization principally responsible for the political ruin of Spain, as well as the murder of Calvo Sotelo, who was executed in accordance with orders from the Grand Secretary of Freemasonry in Geneva.
  • [It would be good to see] the end of this legend of secrecy, the poisoned fruit of the deeds of the Arezzo mattress maker, which has no reason to persist. But how can one - one gets heated - confuse the Grand Orient, school of ethics and ruling class, with the scoundrels who infest the country, even in false Masonic lodges? Fascism persecuted it, forcing the Freemasons to keep their organisation secret, but today we are a transparent institution that has returned to history. This is demonstrated by the dozens of our cultural conferences with participants of the calibre of Margherita Jack, Rita Levi Montalcini, Umberto Galimberti, Giuseppe Mussari, Ignazio Marino, Paolo Prodi, Gian Mario Cazzaniga and many other philosophers, historians and academics of renowned and distinguished science. Has the Democratic Party now realised that the left is also the daughter of Freemasonry? The names of those who fled to Paris during Fascism, the Partisan Brigades in Spain and the Constituent Assembly, where out of 75 members 8 were Freemasons, from Cipriano Facchinetti to Arturo Labriola and Meuccio Ruini, are proof of this.
    • [Sarebbe un bene] la fine di questa leggenda della segretezza, frutto avvelenato delle gesta del materassaio di Arezzo, che non ha ragione di persistere. Ma come si fa - si accalora - a confondere il Grande Oriente, scuola di etica e di classe dirigente, con i mariuoli che infestano il paese anche in false massonerie? Il fascismo, perseguitandola, costrinse la massoneria al segreto, ma oggi siamo un'istituzione trasparente tornata nella storia. Lo dimostrano le decine di nostri convegni culturali con partecipanti del calibro di Margherita Hack, Rita Levi Montalcini, Umberto Galimberti, Giuseppe Mussari, Ignazio Marino, Paolo Prodi, Gian Mario Cazzaniga e tanti, filosofi, storici, accademici di reputazione e scienza preclare. Il Pd si accorge adesso che la sinistra è figlia anche della massoneria? Fanno fede i nomi dei fuorusciti a Parigi durante il fascismo, le Brigate partigiane in Spagna e la Costituente, dove su 75 membri 8 erano massoni, da Cipriano Facchinetti ad Arturo Labriola, Meuccio Ruini.
  • Ettore Loizzo, engineer of Cosenza, my deputy in the Goi, a person who for me was the highest representative of the Goi, during a meeting of the Council of the Grand Orient of Italy (a sort of Board of Directors of the Goi in which my successor Gustavo Raffi, current Grand Master of the Goi, was also present) that I urgently called in 1993 after the beginning of the investigation of Dr. Cordova on Freemasonry, said that he could state with certainty that in Calabria, out of 32 lodges, 28 were controlled by the 'ndrangheta. [Agostino] Cordova on Freemasonry, at my precise request, he said that he could state with certainty that in Calabria, out of 32 lodges, 28 were controlled by the 'ndrangheta. I jumped up in my chair. I immediately said to him: and what do you want to do in the face of this disaster? He replied: nothing. Even more astonished, I asked him why. He replied that he could do nothing because otherwise he and his family would risk serious reprisals.
  • In his latest encyclical Fratelli tutti published Oct. 3, Pope Francis expressed apertis verbis in an absolutely unprecedented key an idea of universal brotherhood, as a bond that unites all human beings beyond their faith, ideology, skin color, social background, language, culture and nation. It is a thought that is close to the ideals that have been the very foundation of Freemasonry since its origins. For more than 300 years the principle of brotherhood has been written indelibly in the Masonic trinomial placed in the East in the temples along with those of liberty and equality. And,the realization of a universal brotherhood, is from its origins the great mission and dream of Freemasonry.
    • Nella sua ultima enciclica “Fratelli tutti”, pubblicata il 3 ottobre, Papa Francesco ha espresso apertis verbis in chiave assolutamente inedita un’idea di fratellanza universale, come legame che unisce tutti gli esseri umani, al di là della loro fede, ideologia, colore della pelle, estrazione sociale, lingua, cultura e nazione. Si tratta di un pensiero che è vicino agli ideali che costituiscono fin dalle origini le fondamenta stesse della Massoneria. Da oltre 300 anni il principio di Fratellanza è scritto in maniera indelebile nel trinomio massonico posto all’Oriente nei templi insieme a quelli di Libertà e Uguaglianza. E,la realizzazione di una Fratellanza universale, è dalle origini la grande missione e il grande sogno della Libera Muratoria.
