Archbishop Diarmuid Martin’s comments were misrepresented

In her recent article, Martin needs to offer hope and solutions (Jul 27), Patricia Casey — commenting on his recent MacGill Summer School address — criticises the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, claiming he “seems to find it very hard to talk about the Catholic Church in an upbeat way”.

Archbishop Diarmuid Martin’s comments were misrepresented

Dr Casey seems to have conveniently forgotten, for example, Archbishop Martin’s recent talks at the Eucharistic Congress which contained anything but “downbeat” language.

She also expressed the hope “the next time Archbishop Martin gives a speech, he needs to tell people why they should become Catholic Christians and instead of merely analysing the problems we face, tell us what he intends doing about them”.
