Moore Sovereign Consistory confers the 19th to the 32nd degrees inclusive. These degrees, often elaborate and highly dramatic, cover a variety of approaches to Masonic teaching. Some have the Crusades as background. The 31st degree is the judicial branch of the Scottish Rite; the 32nd degree is the military degree. The 30th, 31st, and 32nd degrees culminate the teachings of the Scottish Rite, and must be conferred in full ritual form.
