Madam, - "There are no male mothers" concludes Father David O'Hanlon from the patriarchal pulpit of Mother Church (December 18th).
But are we not all acquainted with single parents of both genders who are compelled by circumstances to be both mother and father to their offspring?
Could the real oxymoron be the celibate father? - Yours, etc.,
D. FLINTER, Tullyvoheen, Clifden, Co Galway.
