Sir, - As a member of the Protestant community in Dublin I must strongly protest at the Dean of St Patrick's recent proposal to allow the Mass be celebrated in St Patrick's Cathedral. It is even more puzzling to hear the Dean state that this would be "a way of broadening the cathedral's ministry" (The Irish Times, November 25th). How can broadening the cathedral's ministry incorporate a Church that does not fully recognise any Reformed service as valid.
The only conclusion I can draw is that the Dean no longer supports the Reformed (Catholic) Church and the 39 Articles of the Church Of Ireland. Therefore he should resign. - Yours, etc., D. Simpson,
Clontarf, Dublin 3.
