[Belfast Telegraph] 28 Dec 2007-- That was Christmas. So now it is the sales. Mammon plunges onward, planting his boots (or hers?) in the sludge of what is left after the ancient beano of the Saturnalia. But what is this? A rival show in the wings? A bout between two of the main players in the Christmas celebration, Catholics and Anglicans?
In a flurry of rather out-of-date statistics, the Sunday Telegraph led off its front page with the daring cry that 'Britain is a Catholic country'. The explanation appeared to lie in Sunday Mass attendances exceeding Anglicans' average Sunday attendances. Anglicans were nettled, but clearly recognised it would be unseemly openly to go to war.
