I know you might find it hard to believe, but I'm not trying to grind an axe
with this. I can honestly say that I didn't think about the Mass once when I
was writing it - I just went to the end of chapter 30 and tried to summarise
it in my own words.
Now, would you like to come back with specific amendments to those five
points, rather than worrying about an agenda that I may or may not have?
