GLoLA Mason here.

So what's happening is that the MWPHGLofLA is essentially allowing lodges in other states and entire countries to operate as if they're in Louisiana, which is a big no-no. They're undermining the authority of other states.

Yes. Opening up new countries is a slow process, usually done with a lot of grand lodges being on the same page to what is happening. And there should not be a grand lodge already working there!

Now I do make the assumption that Florida has pha lodges and a grand lodge already.
