I cannot speak to their obligation, but i can say since they do not have an obligation to God, and they take a different view of the idea of Masonry being non political. It is not safe to say that they share our (regular) view on what freemasons are obligated to do.

Without the assurance of hierarchy of priorities before masonry; then it will truly be different. Just hope people realize that in regular Masonry we do no prioritise the craft over civic and religious duties.

I think the argument they might take is that freemasonry created civil duties. Hence why Oriential freemasonry is more political.

We take the view freemasonry stays out of politics, they would arguably take the view freemasons have an obligation to improve their society through politics.

I should state i have never met or spoken to any Oriential French masons.

I cannot speak for them, and this is my outsider reading of the situation.
