Dear Editor, I think Bishop Martin Drennan was quite in order to demand answers from the SVP (‘Bishop demands answers from SVP on gay donation’ IC 04/09/2014). I always thought the SVP looked after the poor in their different needs, paying ESB bills, school uniforms and maybe groceries, etc.
The poor bishops – they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. I hope the present criticism does not hinder them from speaking out again, if and when the need arises.
Yours etc.,
Helen Gately,
