Madam, - In her article "At home with the Mennonites (Features, July 5th), Niamh Kavanagh refers to what she terms "the demise of the Catholic Church in Ireland".
Her choice of the word "demise" reminds me of Mark Twain's famously ironic response to the rumours of his death, which he declared to be "greatly exaggerated". - Yours, etc,
