Sir, - No doubt all the children of planned Roman Catholic families (described by Dr Connell two years ago as underprivileged, and likely to have problems later in life) will rejoice with those children of unplanned pregnancies (classified by him as `gifts from God'), at the elevation of Archbishop Connell to Cardinal at the weekend. - Yours, etc.,
