Disclaimer I have known, and worked with Roger Caro (Pierre Phoebus) from 1974 to 1992, when he died January 16. Under his leadership, I became a bishop June 1974, later March 15, 1975, he nominated me Archbishop, and the same day received the knighthood ritually, and became Chevalier Grand Croix de Mérite, des Frères Aînés de la Rose Croix, finding its off-spring among the Templars of the Temple Church of Jerusalem during the Crusades. The title is the equivalent of “Great Master”, the highest distinction after the Imperator. Roger Caro (Pierre Phoebus), who was the 58th and last Imperator, as another could not be chosen due to the fact that he died before choosing a successor, also the Order had no longer 33 members, as some left and others died. (A 59th Imperator cannot be imagined, and is an impostor.) The Sovereign Order of the Elder Brothers of the Rose Cross is now continued by its Grand Masters, able to institute committees along its Book of Rules FAR C, authorised by Pope John XXII, and so is its Chivalry perpetuated.
Sa Béatitude Monseigneur Roger Caro (alias Pierre Phoebus, plus tard Stephanos) Patriarche de l’Eglise Universelle de la Nouvelle Alliance (de Rite Traditionnel Catholique Romain et Orthodoxe) (30/01/1911 – 16/01/1992)
