Sir, - Has Al Byrne (Rite and Reason, August 2nd) thought through his suggestion that Old Testament readings should be dropped from Mass?
No Abraham and the burning bush, no Moses crossing the Red Sea no David, Jonah, Ruth or Rachel; indeed, none of the amazing story of God's covenant with His people.
Worse still, children might grow up thinking Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was a fashion accessory! - Yours, etc.,
Patricia Daly, Home Farm Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 9.
