Sir, - I thought it rather sad that in this season of Christmas and the celebration of the 2,000th birthday of Jesus, your religious correspondent, Patsy McGarry, should report on "Catholics for a Free Choice" and their views on abortion (The Irish Times, December 14th). You kindly published a letter of mine (March 1999) in which I asked why the views of this group were inflicted on us ad nauseam. No answer was received, but you continue to facilitate the pronouncements of this minuscule organisation, aptly described by Kevin Myers as an oxymoron. Why, why, why? - Yours, etc., Mary Stewart,
Ardeskin, Donegal Town.
