Church will survive despite the media

AS a long-time fan of Dr Tony Humphreys, I was sorely disappointed with his column (Feelgood, December 18).

When I saw the headline ‘The Catholic Church may not survive in its current form – but let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater’, I was delighted.

I couldn’t believe that some high-profile professional was going to defend the vast majority of decent Catholics in Ireland. But when I read on I was horrified to see that his column was actually anti-Catholic. He wrote: “Will the Irish Catholic Church survive the present crisis? I hope not.”
