Every jurisdiction is different. What restrictions are placed on the Worshipful Master or even the Grand Master depends on the Constitution in each Grand jurisdiction. Masonic info, for the most part, is right; there exceptions to every rule.

There is some good information about what the Worshipful Master’s Masonic authority is at: http://www.masonicinfo.com/master.htm
I would assume the same authority (and more…) is given to the Grand Master as well.

Besides, the Brother forgets that he took an obligation to abide by all the laws, rules, regulations, and edicts of the Grand Lodge; or maybe he didn’t really mean it.

A majority of those misreadings are due to shear lazyness of the brain and lack of education. A vast majority of people in our socity choose not to digest or understand what they read, but key in on certain words and phrases (like a salad bar)to form an opinion from what they think is the truth. This is where education is so important. It helps us make an informed decisions and also communicate effectivly to those around us, so that they may understand exactly what was said. Even back in 1787.

That kind of misreading has caused so many problems in public policy. Not to get into the politics of it, we still can see abuses in many institutions, particularly public schools. Of course misreading isn’t limited to the constitution. There seems to be a refusal to agree on the simplest meaning of words sometimes. Words do have meaning.

I tried to start a thread on this topic (really, critical thinking) on my blog, but got no bites.
