Sir, - Fr David O'Hanlon (June 15th) appears to believe that his Bible is different from mine and contains a command of Christ that priests should be celibate. I ask him, then, as I asked Fr Manning (May 31st), to give me chapter and verse and I can look it up in Mgr Knox's version, which has he imprimatur of Vic. Gen. Bernard and is authorised by the Hierarchy of England and Wales and the Hierarchy of Scotland, and which I possess. - Yours, etc.,

Dr Leslie W. Lucas, Rosapenna, Downings, Co Donegal.
