A chara, - The challenge mounted by Des Hanafin to the result of the first and unfair divorce referendum will be heard on April 29th in the Supreme Court. It is all important that a second chance be given for the issue to be fought on a level pitch without the scandalous conduct of the Government spending - unconstitutionally - large sums of tax payers' money to suit their own purposes.
The large majority of your readers are doubtlessly people who want to follow out the teaching of Christ and of his church.
May I ask our people to join in a nationwide crusade of prayer to God, to Mary Queen of Ireland, and St Patrick, that Ireland be given a second chance and that the evil of divorce may yet be averted. "The Rosary is the powerful weapon to be used in these times", Our Lady says. - Le meas,
