Stand-Off At Drumcree

Sir, - I am 11 years old. I am a Catholic and I live in Florida, USA

Sir, - I am 11 years old. I am a Catholic and I live in Florida, USA. I have many friends who are Catholic, Protestant and Jewish. I have white friends, black friends, hispanic friends and Haitian friends. My ancestors are Irish and I am proud. But tonight I watched the news with my mother, and I saw the pictures of the Quinn boys. I do not understand. If both Catholics and Protestants believe in God, why are they killing each other? And if both Catholics and Protestants believe in Jesus and the message that He taught, why were three boys buried? We rejoiced in our house when my parents explained that peace had passed in the election in Ireland. Peace is good and peace is simple. Just stop and think before you hate. - Yours, etc., Kaitlin Powers Duffey,
