Madam, – Paul Kenny’s article (Opinion, September 1st) was both informative and timely.
As a solemniser of marriage, I am often invited to Ireland and it is a privilege and a joy to celebrate nuptial Mass the length and breadth of the land. I also get a good insight to what the people want. What they don’t want is homophobic utterances put out in their name, as was the case last weekend when Cardinal Seán Brady indulged in the outburst against civil partnerships. This was about as sensitive as the Pope’s decision to travel to Aids-infected Africa and preach against the use of condoms. – Yours, etc.
