Courageous lead

It is good to see that Bishop Diarmuid Martin recognises that his and our society was wrong in how they dealt with illegitimacy and unwanted children.

It would now be good if Archbishop Michael Jackson and all of the Protestant church leaders could have the courage to follow his lead, so that Christianity and humanity is not just talked about but put into practice.

The time has passed for religious leaders to be passing notes to Government officials in private.
