□ Dear Mr. Buckley:

Several months ago, Paul Kelly, that “product of 12 years of Catholic-school education,” complained of Keith Mano’s literal Bible quotation, which compared a rich man’s difficulty in entering the Kingdom with that of a camel trying to go through the eye of a needle. Kelly would make it a trifle easier on the rich man by observing that this referred to a low gate in the walled city of Jerusalem. Since then we have waited impatiently for scholars to expose this clever brainwashing.
