Freedom to practise religion was hard fought by our forefathers

Though not an adherent of any god or religion, I take exception to the full-page piece by your journalist, Kelly O’Brien, attacking aspects of the Catholic Church.

She and her interviewees display an arrogance and smugness that perhaps equal that of the Catholic Church itself after the foundation of this State.

Their arrogance certainly equals that of the Protestant Church, and its satellites, from the Penal Laws onwards.
