I do not believe this is true for York.
Scottish Rite is how you explain it - basically a show. However York Rite follows the practices of the Blue lodge, as York Rite is the original tradition.
Scottish Rite claims to be descended from Jacobites who fled to France following the Charles II revolution. It's official Supreme Council was formed in 1801... well after the accepted date of 1390 for the York Rite which dates its lineage to the Regis Document.
My suspicion is that the corruption of Freemasonry happened with the Scottish Rite, and its influence from Eurotrash nobility. The famous 33rd Degree is only found in the Scottish Rite, and not York. Also, all the scumbag Freemasons we hear about all seem to be connected to Scottish Rite, and involve the degrees beyond the 10 degrees found in York (I think).
Further, of the 2 Rites, later degrees in York require members to be Christian (specifically), which sort of flies in the face of the presumed Satan worship Freemasonry is accused of.
The founding fathers who were Freemasons all appear to have been members of the York Rite, as the Scottish Rite didn't exist during the War of Independence.
Are you able to confirm how accurate I am on this? I would be curious to see how close some of my guesses are getting to the mark, based on what I've gleaned from Internet sources and the Freemason source books I've seen.
