In the charter of “re-establishment” of the autonomous Grand Priory of Scotland it states that Anton Leuprecht had been confirmed in the office of Chef Mondial on 16th March, 1965, by the Prince Regent in “Oporto,” therefore, the Prince Regent “in Oporto” in question was then, and continues to be Fernando Fontes. That Leuprecht included such a clause within a document he himself executed is a clear admission of whom he held this particular office of and with whom the jurisdiction resided. I have viewed and have copies of other documents from the 1970s and 80s (when the office was held by Francis Sherry, Grand Prior of Scotland) which reiterate this.

This brings up various questions, when and why (if at all) did Fontes cease to have jurisdiction over the office of Chef Mondial? and, how could Leuprecht have any right to “nominate” a successor given that he himself confirmed that his office was held under the Prince Regent “in Oporto”? The best he could do would be to “recommend” a successor to his superior.

Without wishing to appear contentious, trying to get a straight dialogue with someone keen to stick to the facts as opposed to continually taking the convenient tangents of myths and heresay is proving difficult. I am keen to hear from anyone who has something credible, as well as proveable, to say.

By the way, your date of 1971 for the re-establishment of the Grand Priory of Scotland is incorrect, the original charter states 1st January, 1972.
