Sir, - The discussion about Roman Catholics taking Communion in Churches of the Reformed tradition is a family row over discipline and doctrine internal to the Roman Catholic Church. The arguments expressed are based on the clear teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. It is not an argument with any of the Reformed Churches whose Eucharists we respect. We feel we are dealing with the foundations of the Catholic Church and its teaching authority. They may not understand why Roman Catholics wish to preserve unity - we may not understand the reasons for their divisions. Let's remain good friends. - Yours, etc.,
Dungannon, Co Tyrone.
