A chara, - Maire GeogheganQuinn claims (Opinion, December 20th) that President McAleese knows her own mind "and ours".
No doubt she does know her own mind. She may speak for liberal Catholics, liberal "theologians", a la carte Catholics - as seen by her article in the Tablet (March 1997).
Does she speak (or build bridges) for the majority of Irish people who revere the Holy Father as Vicar of Christ and accept his teaching and the teaching of the Church without hesitation? - Is mise,
