Madam, – I witnessed the scenes outside the Pro-Cathedral in Dublin before 11am Mass on Easter Sunday, and the personal vituperation directed at Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. While understanding and accepting the rage of those abused by clergy, I think it might be more productive if protesters organised a delegation to Rome to meet the Pope, to deliver the message to him that misuse of authority is one of the Catholic Church’s most serious problems, which is crying out for urgent remedial measures.
Attacking Diarmuid Martin amounts to attacking the wrong target. – Yours, etc,
