"That phrase, regarding "the widow's son", is used by members of Masonic Order, as a desparte plea for assistance from fellow Masons. If I recall correctly, the actual phrase is: "Oh Lord, Oh God, who will help the widow's son?". This is recognized by other Masons as a most dire plea for aid, much like flying the American flag upsidedown is recognized as a most dire cry for help (done flawlessly in the film Red Dawn).

The Masonic Order has long been linked (largely by non-Masons) to virtually every consipiracy theory ever circulated, since the founding of their order. Sadly to say, they are, in fact, little more than a Men's Club who use a handful of odd phrases, and curious "handshakes" to denote themselves to one another. As for some greater goal or hidden adgenda, the Masons are involved in little more than some exceptional charity work, and putting on circuses for children - despite what The Da Vinci Code and countless conspiracy theorists might want the world to believe.
