Some of my ancestors came from Ulster, where lives the
Orange Order. One of the tenets of the Orange Order was an unremitting fight against Popery. So this
post in Religion in American History, recalling a little-known order of General Washington, condemning the burning of the Pope in effigy, was interesting to me. (The context: early in the Revolution its leaders hoped to get Canada, i.e., Quebec, to join the rebellion.)
