Dear Editor, I do not understand why major western powers sell military equipment and arms to Saudi Arabia. These very weapons conveniently end up in the hands of ISIS who use them to kill and butcher Christians and fellow Muslims. From a Christian perspective putting arms sales to Saudi Arabia before the lives of innocent Christians and Muslims is just morally wrong and can never be justified. It is sickening and must stop…

Dear Editor, Regarding Catholics in second marriages etc. not receiving the Eucharist but identifying themselves as public sinners (sexual sinners) by crossing their arms before the priest, let us introduce a new practise alongside this. Let all celebrants at Mass who are in a current sexual relationship, heterosexual or otherwise, refuse, in public, to take…

Dear Editor, Ray D’Arcy’s blood was boiling as he listened to David Quinn on the Clare Byrne Show. Maybe now he understands how many of us felt, when he allowed the views of Richard Dawkins and Ruaírí Quinn to go unchallenged on his own recent programmes. Yours etc., Brendan Daly, Longford, Co. Longford.

Dear Editor, When I was received into the Church last year after a lifetime as a practising Anglican, I made a profession of faith which committed me to “believe and profess all that the holy Catholic Church believes, teaches, and proclaims to be revealed by God”. This profession is the standard one for converts to…

Dear Editor, I noticed recently that the best results in the UK’s GCSE or whatever it is called now were achieved in Northern Ireland. I suspect that the majority of schools in the North are what might be called ‘faith’ schools. That in turn suggests that, regardless of the practice of faith of any kind,…

Dear Editor, Actor Liam Neeson’s film career is thriving, so one must conclude that his voice-over endorsement of the Graham Linehan pro-abortion video reflects his personal position on the Eighth Amendment debate (David Quinn, IC 29/10/2015). One wonders how he can square this stance with his position as ‘celebrity supporter’ of UNICEF whose motto is…

Dear Editor, I am appalled at Amnesty International’s reversal of basic human rights in many areas. Originally founded to protect the vulnerable and defenceless, it now promotes abortion in Ireland on both sides of the border. One of its targets is the removal of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution, democratically passed in 1983 after…

Dear Editor, At a recent talk in Knock, a speaker mused aloud that given the ideological bent of Sunday newspapers, and most of the media in Ireland, it could be seen that we are complicit with evil by supporting them. It is likewise for the TV licence to RTÉ given its constant churning out of…

Dear Editor, For many Christians the name Richard Dawkins has become akin to an agent of Satan. However, as I viewed the professor chatting to Gay Byrne the other night I listened to the reasonable arguments of an open-minded man who didn’t attempt to dance on other people’s beliefs. His bottom line seemed to be…

Dear Editor, Your newspaper has carried many reports and opinion pieces in recent weeks regarding the issue of Holy Communion for divorced and remarried Catholics. It is a challenging question, and my heart goes out to all who have experienced relationship breakdown. I feel that the broader question of worthiness to receive Jesus in the…
