Dear Editor, Dublin City Centre is in a sorry state of affairs. Reading your front page [The Irish Catholic – February 9, 2023] brought home the challenges facing our inner city churches. Anyone who has been out in Dublin, particularly in the evening, can see first hand the homelessness and drugs epidemic that is causing…
Dear Editor, Every year we have the same tired attacks on St Brigid in the media, with claims that she was involved in an abortion and was lesbian. Breda O’Brien’s piece was important as it pointed out the offensive co-opting of such a wonderful saint by those who seek to paint her in a way…
Dear Editor, Starting off with a bang, the new bishop of Ossory Niall Coll said it would be a “dreadful mistake” to secularise Catholic or other faith-based schools [The Irish Catholic – January 26, 2022]. It is a blessing we have received a bishop of his calibre, who has extensive experience in education, and who…
Dear Editor, I appreciated the article entitled ‘The positive side to fear of God’ by Maria C. Morrow [The Irish Catholic – January 19, 2023]. I felt it would have been better had she referred to Pope Francis who explained that the fear of the Lord is a gift bestowed by the Holy Spirit, which…
Dear Editor, It is clear the narrative around the demand for secular or multidenominational schools is completely overstated by the Government, media and lobby groups. This was highlighted by some schools, in areas earmarked for changes in patronage, finding that a huge majority of parents wanted their school to remain under Catholic patronage. It’s important…
Dear Editor, Without a doubt, a number of Irish politicians are continuously stoking up hatred for the Church in their poisonous, insidious speeches in the Dáil. Thank you for highlighting this [The Irish Catholic – January 12, 2023] and to the TDs who call it out. Not a day goes by when there isn’t another…
Dear Editor, With the noble exception of yourself, it seems that our media was virtually incapable of finding a single commentator who had anything positive to say about the late Pope Benedict XVI. To call a lot of the coverage petty and churlish would be an understatement. No one should expect that the passing of…
Dear Editor, As usual Catholic schools are found to be at the top of school leader boards in the south, and according to a recent poll, in the North as well. The recent poll highlighted by your paper [The Irish Catholic – December 15, 2022] in which three out of the top five schools in…
Dear Editor, Westminster has continuously proven to disregard the wishes of the people of Northern Ireland by pushing ahead with plans to bring in abortion ‘services’. Fuel prices soar and people are cold in their houses, yet for some reason the biggest priority for them is abortion. Once again, due to the inability of the…
Dear Editor, I have been watching the World Cup, I dare say. Whenever the time comes around every four years, I become quite invested. It is a time when the world’s best footballers come together and millions of people from multiple nations get behind their country’s finest sportsmen. Admittedly it was a terrible decision by…
