Royal Arch Regulation 72

Regulation 72 outlines the consequences of suspension and expulsion for Royal Arch Masons in relation to Craft privileges. It states that any suspension from Craft privileges imposed by the Grand Lodge or another competent authority automatically extends to equivalent privileges within Royal Arch Masonry, unless explicitly stated otherwise by the authority. This means that a Brother suspended from Craft activities will also lose his rights and privileges in the Royal Arch unless a specific exemption is provided. Additionally, any expulsion decreed by the Grand Lodge results in an automatic expulsion from Royal Arch Masonry, reinforcing the interconnectedness of disciplinary actions across Masonic bodies. This regulation emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistent standards of conduct and discipline within the Masonic fraternity, ensuring that the integrity of both Craft and Royal Arch Masonry is upheld.
