Madam, – I read with interest the announcement by Minister of State for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs John Curran, that starting in September, only “Mass cards approved by a Catholic bishop or by the provincial of a congregation of priests established under the authority of and recognised by the Catholic Church may be offered for sale . . .” (“New law to regulate sale of Mass cards”, July 31st) . Martin Luther would be pleased that the State finally is dealing with this problem of bogus Mass cards. – Yours, etc,
