French Masonic leader calls for abolition of independent schools (Catholic Herald)

In brief

Guillaume Trichard, the grand master of the Grand Orient de France, has pledged to work toward abolishing independent schools in France.

In an interview reported by the Catholic Herald, Trichard stated that independent schools are incompatible with a secular, democratic, and social Republic. He made these comments as the 2027 French elections approach. Trichard also attributed the recent introduction of assisted suicide in France to the influence of his Masonic lodge.
