Sir, - It seems that a fringe element in the Northern Ireland part of our Catholic Church has as shown by its inability to stomach a few minutes of triumphalist Orange marching, difficulty with Christ's injunction "Love your enemies". Not even the possibility of severe purgatory pain for non compliance motivates them to comply with that injunction.
However, perhaps they would find more motivating the point made in a quip among those Marshall McLuhan - a Canadian of Orange Irish extraction - sent me in the 1970s: "Love your enemies, it drives `em crazy!" - Yours, etc.,
