[Magdalen] Curse on Masons

[Charles Wohlers]

Well, if a pope ever put a curse on the Masons, it obviously didn't work 
very well, as evidenced by all the famous and not-so-famous people who 
were/are Masons. You can see a list at: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Freemasons. The list includes Prince 
Philip, Wyatt Earp, Jon Entwistle (of the Who), Douglas Fairbanks, Enrico 
Fermi, Gerald, Glenn & Henry Ford, Benjamin Franklin, and a great many 
others. All these people were cursed?

And, why should a good Episcopalian worry about curses placed by Catholics, 
after all?

All of this, of course, is just logic, but somehow I doubt that Grace's 
parishioner, since he believes in a supposed curse placed by a long-ago 
pope, would be swayed by logic. I suspect that if Grace just made up a 
prayer it would have the desired effect, much as the feather did for Dumbo.

Just my $0.02, and worth about that.
