Also- the Great Freemasons strike against a papal decree that they could not live so high on the hog...
Just because they made a lot of money as masons. The Masons went underground and refused to build for many many years.
When the Pope relented, that was the first time in history that both the church and the aristocracy agreed that any man could live as well as his wits and industry allowed. For the first time you could LIVE like an aristocrat, even if you weren't.
This is the fundemental basis of society where its members are free to rise as far as their talents allow.
The Freemasons strike resulted in the close association of freemasonry and architecture with the Scottish enlightenment.
The founders of the United States were all masons because, at that time, being a mason was a political position... being a mason meant you believed in the rights of the individual over those of the state, and you believed in the essentail freedom from class.
