A new Pentecost?

Sir, – Fr Gerry O'Hanlon, SJ, is filled with enthusiasm and likens the Yes vote to a new Pentecost ("Church leadership in Ireland needs to empower the laity", Opinion & Analysis, June 1st). Such inspired imagination! Whatever might be next? David Norris as the new St Peter? Patsy McGarry as the new St Paul? The Irish Times as the even newer New Testament? How can one bear so much good news? Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy). – Yours, etc,
