Whence Came You? - 0697 - Why Do We Ignore Detractors?

Author: Robert Johnson December 22, 2025 Duration: 29:18

Join us this week as we look at the man who made the "Atomic Age" possible, Brother Enrico Fermi. Then we'll hear one Mason's argument for action again, Masonic-Misinformation. For too long, Freemasonry has had a policy of "no action." But it's now time to educate the public! Thanks for listening, and have a wonderful week!
