Who has more power a 32nd degree mason of the Scottish rite or a knights templar of the york rite?
It depends on what you mean by "power." If you mean the power to read a newspaper through brick walls, or fly through the air unseen for long distances, or bend steel bars with your bare hands, or melt stainless steel with your x-ray vision, then the answer would clearly have to be a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason. But, if you mean the power to get free sodas from any vending machine, or always find an empty parking spot, or the power to get a comfy nice armchair at work, or always get a warning instead of a ticket when you're stopped for speeding, that kind of stuff, then the answer is that kind of power is for Knights Templar only.
Degrees in Freemasonry, Scottish Rite, Royal Arch, etc. DO NOT confer power.
Even in Blue Craft Freemasonry, the Grand Master, though afforded particular respect, is "On the Level" with all other Master Masons.
Ahh, the "Blue Craft" Freemasonry. That's the stuff.
There is no degree of Craft Freemasonry higher than that of Master Mason. Although some Masonic bodies and orders have further degrees named with higher numbers, these degrees may be considered to be supplements to the Master Mason degree rather than promotions from it. An example is the Scottish Rite, conferring degrees numbered from 4° up to 33°. It is essential to be a Master Mason in order to qualify for these further degrees. They are administered on a parallel system to Craft or Blue Lodge Freemasonry; within each organisation there is a system of offices, which confer rank within that degree or order alone.
Hope this helps

What is the title of 17th degree mason?
The title of a 17th degree Mason in the Scottish Rite is "Knight of the East and West." This degree is part of the Scottish Rite's higher degrees and focuses on themes of moral and ethical development, as well as the pursuit of knowledge and truth. Each degree in the Scottish Rite conveys philosophical lessons and is rich with symbolism.
What is the highest degree that a freemason can attain?
The highest degee in Freemasonry is the Third degree, That of a Master Mason. The Scottish Rite (a separate organization requiring one to be a Mason to belong) has numbered degrees from 4th to 33rd degree which last is an honorary one. None of these extra degrees make a man any more of a mason, more important, or more powerful than a 3rd degree mason. The 33rd degree is in the Scottish rite of Freemasonry not the traditional lodge where one is made a mason.

What does the Knights Templer have to do with the Masonic Lodge?
Originally, the medieval Order of Knights Templar (The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Jesus Christ, or Knights of the Temple) was founded in 1118, following the 1st Crusade, by a small band of knights who pledged themselves to protect pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. The order was officially dissolved in 1312.The Freemasons, or "Ancient Free and Accepted Masons," is the world's oldest fraternal organization. Although its origins rest in the stone mason guilds of the medieval period, the fraternal, or "speculative" rather than "operative," masonic lodges began around 1700. Within the next few decades stories arose tying their linage to that of the fabled Knights Templar. These stories were speculative at best, being based mostly on pure fancy. Despite what a few authors have tried to proclaim, there is no known historical evidence linking the original ancient Knights Templar to Freemasonry.The Masonic Knights Templar degrees began about the middle of the 18th century, most likely in France and spreading to Scotland, England, and elsewhere. (The first recorded Knight Templar conferral in America was that of William Davis in August of 1769 in Boston.) This degree is part of the "appendant bodies" of Freemasonry, typically within the York Rite, so that while all Knights Templar are Freemasons, not all Freemasons are Knights Templar.The modern Knights Templar make no claim to any direct link with the medieval Templars. Rather, as the Grand Encampment of the United States says:The Knights Templar is a Christian-oriented fraternal organization based on the ancient organization that was founded in the 11th century. Today, the Knights Templar display their courage and goodwill in different ways than the ancient Templars. Members of the Order today organize fund-raising activities such as breakfasts, dinners, dances and flea markets for the support of Masonic-related youth groups, in addition to raising millions of dollars for charitable purposes.For more information see:http://www.knightstemplar.org/faq.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar_%28Freemasonry%29

How do you know what degree you are in York Rite Freemasonry if you are aMark Master mason in Mark and a Companion in Chapter?
Mark Master Mason (MMM) is directly after the Master Mason degree; then is Past Master (PM), Most Excellent Master (MEM), then the Royal Arch Degree at which time the Brother becomes a Companion. The Chapter Degrees are not numbers like in the Scottish Rite or Blue Lodge. In Britain, the order of these degrees is quite different. A Master Mason may become a RAM in England; a Fellowcraft in Scotland generally becomes a MMM before becoming a Master Mason. The PM (Virtual Past Master) degree is unheard of outside of the United States or those places who derive their ritual directly from there.
