“AMORC touts its authenticity by proclaiming it’s the only Rosicrucian organization that uses the word “order” in its name and claiming authorization from FUDOSI (the Fédération Universelle Des Ordres Et Sociétés Initiatiques), a sort of clearinghouse of mystical societies. To my mind that’s like Clarabelle the Clown being validated by Howdy Doody, but we’ll let that pass and trudge on.”
