Reinventing the Catholic Church

Sir, – Msgr Dermot Lane, president of the Mater Dei Institute, suggests the Catholic Church should reinvent itself as Fianna Fáil has done in recent years (Patsy McGarry, Front page, November 1st). If the monsignor ever decides to leave the institute, perhaps he might consider a new career as a stand-up comedian. – Yours, etc,
