Organized in 1865 and chartered in 1866, Dante Lodge #174 consisted primarily of Italian immigrants. Since the papal bulls forbidding Catholics from becoming Masons weren't issued until the 1870s, the Archdiocese of New Orleans didn't have a problem with selling space for a Masonic tomb in the 1860s. Dante Lodge, one of the ten Lodges remaining in Louisiana that work in the Scottish Rite Symbolic Ritual, is still going strong.
