István Horváth is Freemason transplanted from Europe to Ontario, Canada, where he completed his Masonic journey in Royal Arch, Cryptic Masonry, and the Scottish Rite (32°). A former teacher, journalist, and humanitarian worker in different countries, today he is a well known Masonic researcher and lecturer.
""The way the author addresses masonry is refreshing. His European background brings a much needed cultural context to masonry which is relatively new in this part of Canada. Masonry as a way of thinking."" Dale Graham, WM, Templum Lucis Lodge ""W. Bro. Horvath has an excellent reputation for being a very astute Masonic scholar and researcher and when W. Bro. Horvath says or writes something, one pays strict attention. If any brother wishes to broaden their Masonic horizons, then ""Weekly Masonic Doubts"" is an excellent place to start."" Allison Growling, WM, Mercer Wilson Lodge ""Reading W. Bro. Istvan Horvath's book ""Weekly Masonic Doubts"", I realized that it broadened my thinking of Masonry that I have not considered in the past. By doing so, I internally challenged some of those old personal views and traditions."" Thomas A. Wills 33ᵒ, Lieutenant Grand Commander A.A.S.R. of Freemasonry of Canada ""The book was not at all what I was expecting. But, I loved it. I really, really, like the idea that it gives Brothers guided topics for their own individual contemplation, and I think it a superb way of educating Masons. I was also quite impressed with the topics selected for that contemplation."" Cameron M. Bailey, Past Grand Master, Washington ""I like the style and the thought provoking chapters - in fact I can see me writing short lectures round many of the topics using the book's prose as the basis of the lectures for our brethren..."" Mark Walton, Deputy Grand Master, Hungary
