Good for bishops to speak up

Dear Editor, It was heartening to learn of the intervention of Archbishop Eamon Martin, as well as Bishop Philip Boyce, Bishop Michael Smith, Bishop Denis Nulty and Bishop John Buckley, in the debate on the forthcoming referendum (IC 07/05/2015). Dare we hope that at this the eleventh hour many other bishops, as well as priests, will follow suit?

They have the forum and the ability – we pray that they summon the apostolic courage.

Yours etc.,

John Skelly,

Castleknock, Dublin 15.
