Do the Freemasons still build cathedrals and churches?
Freemasons do not practice the operative skills of the craft masons, or stonemasons, who built the great cathedrals of Europe during the Middle Ages. Freemasons practice speculative Masonry, which symbolically applies the tools of the craftsman as lessons in personal growth and morality, thereby building a better life for the individual in his roles as a son, a brother, a father, a citizen, and a friend.
