Sir, - So many media people desire that the name of the Catholic Church should perish from the earth! They seek out her faults. They display them under a microscope that gives a magnified image. They raise pharisaical hands in horror. "Oh, such horrid people! Oh, how horrid must be the religion they profess! Away with it!"

To be sure! For 2,000 years they have been raising hands in horror. They will to the end. But the poor old Church trundles on, admitting the faults of her members, insisting nevertheless that she is of God; that the reality at her heart is Jesus, Son of God, Creator and Saviour. Go to any Catholic tabernacle. Jesus is still there. - Yours, etc., Fr K. Cullen, OSA,
