Madam, - Fr Tom Ingoldsby (October 18th) asks, but doesn't answer, the question whether it is permissible to do evil in order to attain a good end. While I wouldn't suggest that he go around abortion clinics blessing patients, I would remind him that armies about to do battle are routinely blessed before they set off to cause mayhem. His question may not have the answer he would wish. - Yours, etc,
