Sir - Dr Desmond Connell's piece on the right of the Church to be heard reminded me of so many days, 20 golden years ago or more, in UCD, Belfield, when he tried to teach me general metaphyics. I had the distinct impression, then as now, that he was translating extemporaneously from a foreign language and that the translation was not entirely successful.
There was a truth supposedly splendid, but impenetrably obscure. - Yours, etc.,
