Madam, - Your Religious Affairs Correspondent, Patsy McGarry, writes in your edition of June 24th of fears that severe discipline could be meted out to Catholic priests who give Communion to Protestants.

I am a Roman Catholic priest and I write on my own behalf. I am not brave, I have many fears, but I will not refuse Communion to non-Roman Catholics who wish to receive Communion at a Mass and who approach the altar rails. - Yours, etc.,

Rev ANTHONY J. BUTLER, Blackrock Road, Cork.
