Dear Editor, It’s good to see Bishop Martin Drennan starting to stand up for the Catholic faith. Maybe this will catch on among members of the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland. A story was told a few years ago that a chill came in to a meeting of the bishops’ conference, but had to leave because there wasn’t a spine to run down!
Scripture reserves a very harsh judgment for those who don’t stand up for the truth: “I know all about you: how you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were one or the other, but since you are neither, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15).
Yours etc.,
