Madam, – In the turmoil enveloping the Catholic Church, John Waters’s submission (Opinion, March 26th) highlights an imbalance in the current debate flooding the media. For me as a Christian, and many others, looking for a balanced debate, he has highlighted our Christian heritage and the grief we experience when Christ is removed from the equation.
We of the Christian faith must not allow our indebtedness to Christ be reduced to a “residual cultural oddity” (as Mr Waters so aptly put it).
Mr Waters has known the barrenness of loss of faith and his voice in the debate is cherished by his fellow Christians. – Yours, etc,
