Madam, - It is good to see and hear that Trócaire is focusing on gender injustice and inequality in their Lenten campaign this year.

Is this the start of something new? Should it not logically follow from this that the Irish Bishops would now, in their collegial capacity, address the powers that be in Rome concerning the scandal of gender injustice and inequality within the structures of the Church itself? To my mind it's all of a piece. - Yours, etc,
