Thirtieth Degree

Knight Kadosh


     This is the last of the philosophical degrees.  To spread the sciences, to apply the virtues, to learn the sublime doctrines which enable humanity to live as one great family-this is the school of which Masonry is engaged.  It is not within the realm of Masonry to punish oppressors and tyrants who enact barriers to brotherly love and affection.  They are always punished in the course of history.  It is our goal to defeat the passions and fanaticism which lead to oppression by spreading love and toleration.  The Knight Kadosh is aware of his obligations.  He is just, equitable, and respectful of all ideas.  He battles for freedom of conscience.  He opposes those who would attack these liberties, but material revenge is not in his thoughts and philosophy.  He is a lover of great example.

The Scottish Rite Creed

The cause of human progress our cause, the enfranchisement of human thought is our supreme wish, the freedom of human conscience is our mission, and the guarantee of equal rights to all people everywhere, the end of our contention.

Deus Meumque Jus -  GOD AND MY RIGHT.                 Fiat Lux - LET THERE BE LIGHT.                In Deo Fiducia Nostra - OUR TRUST IS IN GOD                 Lux a Tenebris - LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS.                          Spes mea in Deo est. - MY HOPE IS IN GOD.                Virtus junxit, mors non separabit - WHOM VIRTUE HAS UNITED, DEATH SHALL NOT SEPARATE.
