The Masonic Roundtable - 0552 - Congressional Freemasons
Episode 552
Thursday, 16 April, 2026

In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we dive into the halls of power with special guest and Masonic researcher Brother Chris Ruli. Drawing from his extensive new research and latest book, we explore the deep-seated history of Congressional Freemasons and their influence on the development of the United States. We examine the legislative impact of prominent Masons throughout history, the formation of congressional lodges, and how the values of the Craft have subtly shaped American governance from the capital's earliest days. Join us as we uncover the documented facts behind the fraternity's relationship with the legislative branch and what this historical legacy means for the modern Mason.
