<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2><EM>As with the recent frothing at
the mouth over Christmas, the Christian concern about the Da Vinci Code is
rich in irony. As I recently noted, the assault on Christmas was begun not by
secular humanists, but by Christians. Non-Catholic Christians opposed the
Catholic Church and its liturgical holy days, its celebration of the Mass.
They worked hard to take the “Mass” out of Christ’s Mass – Christmas. They
succeeded.</EM></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
