Sir, - Pace E. M. O'Riordan (letters, November 29th) it is not the custom of the Vatican to issue invitations. The Holy See welcomes visits by heads of state and heads of government. Any such person desirous of visiting the Holy Father has only to make his or her wish known to the Nunciature or the Vatican authorities, and the modalities will be duly arranged. - Yours, etc.,
