Sir, - Your report on the Pilgrimage of Reconciliation undertaken by Bishop Willie Walsh of Killaloe (December 8th) lifted my spirits in quite an extraordinary way.
By his actions, this humble and courageous man is undoubtedly restoring the morale of a deeply traumatised flock and is a shining beacon in the troubled waters of the institutional Catholic Church. Might I paraphrase Christ and ask, in relation to his brother bishops, where are the (other) 34? - Yours, etc.,
