Freemasonry is the beliefs and practices of a
group of linked national organizations open
to men over the age of 21, united by a common
code of morals and certain traditional
`secrets'. Modern freemasonry began in the
18th-century Europe. Freemasons do much
charitable work, but have been criticized in
recent years for their secrecy, their male
exclusivity, and their alleged use of
influence within and between organizations
(eg: the police or local government) to
further each other's interests.
