Bast Temple Official Stance on Secret Chiefs who are not cats

Bast Temple back in September 2001 decided to include the following in its bylaws:


The lodge does NOT recognize the authority of the Secret Chiefs. The Secret Chiefs have been used to justify the abuse of power and authority in other groups. If the Secret Chiefs do contact a member of the lodge (Order), we will try to keep an open mind, but their suggestions and commands will not become law in the lodge unless approved by the voting members of the lodge.

Needless to say, this rule does not apply to the cats.
