Sir, David O'Hanlon is reported to be studying for a licentiate in patristic theology at Rome. Perhaps the nub of the matter is revealed by considering why, for historical reasons, there is no matristic theology for him to study. Fr O'Hanlon would, I think, wish to keep it so in saecula saeculorum. Yours, etc.,
