The Virtue of Justice

The Virtue of Justice

Author: The Research Lodge August 18, 2020 Duration: 5:47

In this episode, we turn our attention to the fourth, and final in our series of the four Cardinal Virtues: Justice. To pick up all four in-depth Fraternal Review issues on the four cardinal virtues of Freemasonry and to put these tools to better work in your life, please visit theresearchlodge.com.

Freemasons are charged to cultivate Justice as a spiritual quality. As we listen to the wise words of Brother C. Douglas Russell, Editor in Chief and former Master of the Southern California Research Lodge, we hear how Justice has the ability to lift us further upward by integrating Justice as a crucial responsibility to our communities and the whole of humanity. Justice is truly a duty that extends to the four corners of the world. A duty that we owe to all regardless of race, color, sex, religion, age, or political affiliation. This virtue is not only consistent with divine and human laws but is the very cement and support of civil society.



For more than sixty years, the pages of Fraternal Review have served as a quiet, thoughtful resource for those curious about Freemasonry. This podcast, brought to you by The Research Lodge, extends that tradition into a new medium. Rather than broad overviews, each audio edition focuses deeply on a single, carefully chosen subject. You might find yourself exploring the origins and meanings behind specific Masonic symbols, or unpacking a pivotal moment in the fraternity’s long history. The discussions delve into lesser-known lore and philosophical concepts, offering a sense of depth and context that goes beyond the surface. It’s a continuation of a dedicated scholarly effort, designed for both long-time members seeking deeper understanding and anyone genuinely intrigued by this enduring aspect of society and culture. Tuning into this podcast is like attending a well-prepared lecture or engaging in a substantive conversation, where each episode builds upon a legacy of meticulous research and shared knowledge. The aim is to inform and illuminate, one specific topic at a time, maintaining the publication's respected role as a source of Masonic education.
