Madam, - In his response (March 16th) to Nuala O'Loan's unusual comments (Opinion & Analysis, March 14th), and his correction of the inaccuracies therein, Fr Patrick McCafferty demonstrates a deep appreciation of the betrayal perpetrated by the Catholic Church in Ireland in its previous dealings with sexual violence.
His compassion and his capacity to take responsibility indicate the kind of leadership that, alongside the likes of Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, can only serve to enrich any religious institution. - Yours, etc,
