I’ve never heard that version of the story; I always heard it was Catholic. Also, apparently not true:

excerpt:
Which brings us to High Park. Did the Howards actually stipulate that a Catholic should never be mayor? Colborne House curator Karen Edwards says no.
The land was deeded to the city in two instalments over a period of 17 years. Both donations were notarized.
"The museum has copies of John's will and the conveyances from 1873 and 1890," she writes in an e-mail, "None of the three documents include anything about a Catholic mayor."
Thanks, Awesome Avatar for wwwebster. This was my understanding also. Irrational division has always existed in Faire Olde Yorke. But we get through it in time.
