Hello to all! I am Giovanni, 53, male, freemason in Milan, Italy. I was initiated 20 years ago in a lodge of Grande Oriente d'Italia (GOI) I was WM, Grand Representative of New South Welsh Grand Lodge and, at present, Judge of the Supreme Court of GOI.
When I began, I was very rational and full of certainties. Now the doubts are prevailing.... is wisdom arriving?

Some similarities there Giovanni. I am close to your age being 52 , have been a Freemason for 16 years, also a Past Master and am a member of all the main stream Masonic Orders in England although there are some of the less well known Side Orders I am not in.
It is a pleasure to greet you as a Brother!

No I don't, but he has just admitted not to be Italian: ex ore tua te judico... (I judge you by your words)

Welcome to the forum Giovanni.
I hope you don't mind but I have created a thread in the General Masonic Discussion regarding your question.
It is a good question, and I think you may get more response to it there.
