Amen

Fri Dec 11 2020 - 00:05

Sir, – Regarding the subject of politicians and Catholic teaching (Letters, December 10th), is it possible that we have finally reached the end of the correspondence between the distinguished professors emeriti, Hannon and Twomey? If so, blessed are the peacemakers, and blessed are we. – Yours, etc,

JOHN McHUGH,

Glenageary,

Co Dublin.
