Sir, – John Waters is to be commended for his article (“Katie Taylor’s faith makes media throw in towel”, Opinion, August 17th).
Katie Taylor is absolutely to be admired for her candour in relation to her faith. There are many who share a similar faith but are too embarrassed to be forthright about it. What can be remotely embarrassing in acknowledging a higher power in one’s life? There are many who think they can achieve miracles on their own. I’ll believe it when I see it. – Yours, etc,
Sir, – Does John Waters appreciate that from the perspective of an atheist, Katie Taylor might as well have said she accredited her success to the tooth fairy? – Yours, etc,
