Re: Why Is OK To Pick On Christians?, Eyra Levant, June 1.
Incredible. The leader of a political party in Canada, under the cowardly cover of House of Commons immunity, feels he has the right to name political volunteers and state their religious affiliation.
What will Gilles Decuppe do next? A listing of all Freemasons in Parliament? All Knights of Columbus in the Commons?
Eyra Levant is right. There does seem to be an anti-Christian attitude prevalent in Canada today. The proof? Mr. Duceppe would never have had the balls to say such a thing in its absence.

I have many friends and acquaintances who belong to and are associated with Opus Dei. They are among the most charitable, hardworking people I know, as well as being a good bit of fun. If more Canadians held their views on life, society and family we would have a far more compassionate country. Perhaps MPs Pat Martin and Gilles Duceppe should attempt to live in the real world as opposed to Dan Brown's fantasy.
Yes, Mr. Duceppe, Opus Dei "have people in place ... so a lot of things prove that something's going on." They are Christians living their faith: Stop the presses.

I am proud to be a practising Roman Catholic and I know many people who are in Opus Dei. I would definitely not call them diabolical. The true Christian philosophy is not "an eye for an eye" but rather, to quote St. Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei, "to drown evil in an abundance of good." Mr. Levant's column is funny but true. We really need to see how ridiculous we behave and how our tolerance in Canada is not true to its name.
