Sir, - Father David O'Hanlon (October 23rd) asks the question: "If Anglicans want to be Catholic why do they not simply convert?" Two reasons why not: firstly we are already Catholic and do not need to "convert". Secondly, if by "convert" Fr O'Hanlon means that we should join the Roman Catholic Church, then I would suggest that he and his attitude are as good a reason as any. - Yours, etc., Brian Stewart,
Rector of Saint George's, Myrtlefield Park Belfast.
