The International Masonic Union Catena is an international organization of Masonic organizations. The organizations involved are considered irregular by the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) and most other Anglo-Saxon Grand Lodges.
The organization was created in 1961 by the Nederlandse grootloge der gemengde vrijmetsalerij, Humanitas – Freimaurergroßloge für Frauen und Männer in Deutschland and Österreichischer Universaler Freimaurerorden - Humanitas. It is only for mixed masonic organizations.
The Catena is open only to lodges that acknowledge a Supreme Being (Great Architect of the Universe).[1]
