Sir, - I wish to thank Father Jackie Robinson for his letter (April 2nd). It will help to ease the pain being suffered by most ordinary everyday Catholics for a very long time now.
The roadblocks that were thrown down almost the day that John XXIII died are still in place. We are stuck with a one-sex, one-age, one-mind frontline of clones, almost empty churches, lost people and completely disillusioned decent clergy.
How dreadfully sad. - Yours, etc.,
Pat Mortell, Ballykeeffe Estate, Limerick.
