The source says the Grand Orient of Italy expelled P2 (1976/1981). The Anselmi Commission report contradicts this: the 1976 suspension was requested by Gelli himself as cover, and in 1981 the Grand Orient drafted rules to readmit P2 members.
Evidence
| Relation | Record | Note |
|---|
| contradicts | parlamento.it | Anselmi Commission majority report (Doc. XXIII n. 2, 1984), ch. I §III: P2's work suspended 'a tempo indeterminato' on 26 Jul 1976 at Gelli's own request ('È lo stesso Gelli a chiedere... la sospensione dei lavori della Loggia P2'); the commission calls it 'una più sofisticata forma di copertura'. Gelli personally got a 3-year suspension/censure in a 1976 Masonic proceeding. |
| contradicts | parlamento.it | Same report: in autumn 1981 the Grande Oriente drafted rules 'per il reinserimento degli iscritti alla Loggia P2 nel circuito ordinario della vita massonica' (readmission, not expulsion). |
| documents | parlamento.it | Same report: Gran Loggia di Napoli, Dec 1974, Venerable Masters voted almost unanimously for the 'demolizione' of P2; Grand Master Salvini's decree of 30 Dec 1974 abrogated its particular rules. |
