 globeandmail.com : Michael Valpy discusses the mystery (and mysteries) of The Da Vinci Code
Michael Valpy, who writes frequently on religion and spirituality for The Globe, was on-line earlier Friday to discuss The Da Vinci Code phenomenon — the religious facts and fiction upon which author Dan Brown based his story, its impact on pop culture and about the allegedly ultra-secret (and sinister?) organization, Opus Dei.

 NOW On / Newsfront / Newsfront / Oct 26 - Nov 1, 2000
But this is the composting, trendy-lefty Annex and there is a star candidate, Globe and Mail religion writer Michael Valpy, who's making a leap of faith by jumping into electoral politics.
But Valpy has the support of the party establishment -- city councillor Olivia Chow is one of his nominators -- and of party conscience Don Heap, who also takes the stage to speak on Valpy's behalf.
Now the question will be whether the Valpy name has as much cachet in Little Italy as it does on Brunswick Avenue, and whether the platoons of parachuted workers can take the riding away from Liberal incumbent Tony Ianno, who squeezed out a 1,000-vote win over Chow last time.

 Peace, order and good government, eh?: Valpy on Ignatieff
Michael Valpy's long biographical profile of Michael Ignatieff in the Focus section of today's Globe and Mail is destined to become a valuable resource (and guide to other sources) in future, so go find, save, and read.
Continuing with Valpy, I'd say that he's somewhat misrepresented 'the moment Michael Ignatieff entered Canadian political life,' because it looks to me like his contrast between 'observer' and 'player' crucially misunderstands the overtly political role Michael Ignatieff was playing before he decided to become involved in Canadian electoral politics.
Valpy tells us his IQ is 'off the Richter scale,' while Don MacPherson once termed him 'scary smart,' smarter asleep than most people are awake.

Valpy seems to go on longer than necessary, and few of us would come out well if we were prominent enough for such an exercise to be conducted on us.
The incident that rankles most is the one most typical of the ruthless literati -- Ignatieff's use of his very-private mother's Alzheimer's as fodder both for a confessional article and a novel.

 The Globe and Mail: Mission Unrealized
The slalom course run by “ethics writer” Michael Valpy through the University of Toronto Law School false-grades affair achieves a perfect miss of the most important and interesting issues.
The students, as Valpy remarks, are “mere fetus lawyers.” The bigger story here, which Valpy does not touch, involves allegations implicating the people in charge of Canada’s top law school.
As reported by the Globe in a February 23 news article, credible sources allege that the school administration has contributed to “unjustified, irreversible damage” to the reputation of a faculty member, Denise Réaume, because of her past criticisms and in an effort to “deflect attention” from those who properly bear responsibility for the scandal.

 News: Blessed Were the Jewish Children
A renowned Canadian scholar of the Holocaust has pulled back the veils on one of the Second World War's most painful and inflamed controversies -- the role Pope Pius XII played as Jewish leaders struggled to reclaim Jewish children from Roman Catholics to whom they had been entrusted for safekeeping from the Nazi death camps.
Historian Michael Marrus's research casts startlingly fresh light on a debate that has locked academics, the Vatican and Catholic and Jewish organizations in venomous combat since the publication last year of a document purportedly containing the wartime Pope's orders that Catholic custody of the children should be retained.
How the church dealt with Europe's surviving Jewish children has been an unlanced boil on the larger polemic enveloping Pius XII, now on the road to sainthood in the church.
