Madam, - Jimmy O'Brien has certainly answered Angela Hanley's argument against Humanae Vitae(January 31st). I too found when I read it, and other publications supporting it, that Pope Paul VI had clearly foreseen the consequences of the widespread promotion of artificial contraception. How right he has been proven!
I hope Angela Hanley is not a member of the Catholic Church as it would surely be hypocritical to belong to a church that one accuses of refusing to support truth. I am a member because I find its teaching stands up to critical examination and seeks to lead its members to inform their consciences, always conscious of Jesus's admonition to seek the truth "and the truth will set you free".
- Yours, etc,
(Mrs) MARY STEWART, Ardeskin, Donegal Town.
