Theos-Talk Archives (October 2008 Message tt00288)

Dear Anton,

The one who proposed to establish in the T.S. a system similar to the
vatican was Algeo. We will have a theosophical 'conclave' and the
Council of theosophists will elect the President of the Theosophical
Society. Oh my god more similar to the vatican could not be.

So I thank Pedro Oliveira to have warned us about the proposed
amendment and be open against the creation of what we could call a
"vatican system" within the T.S..

At the same time if members have a feeling of respect and reverence to
the International President, you may label it as you want. Still the
T.S. and its current structure (Bylaws) has nothing to do with the
vatican. Not is also stated in the bylaws a President must be so until
his death. Such choice is placed entirely on the hands of the members
of the T.S..
