Clerical Celibacy

Sir, - Rev Michael Manning and Rev David O'Hanlon seem to rejoice in their celibacy and misogyny

Sir, - Rev Michael Manning and Rev David O'Hanlon seem to rejoice in their celibacy and misogyny. But, as Rev Jackie Robinson has so rightly pointed out, their attitude is extremely hurtful and insulting to married people in general and, might I add, to women in particular.

Rev O'Hanlon seems to have developed infallibility by osmosis during his heady days in Rome and is now speaking "ex-cathedra" from the plains of Meath. Editor, give us a break. - Yours, etc.,
