President should not have been invited

I WOULD have seen nothing wrong with President McAleese’s recent lecture at Westminster Cathedral if she was committed to upholding the teachings of the Catholic Church.

But this is the woman who received communion in a Protestant church and later said, on the Late, Late Show, that she had no regrets and would do it again.

She is also a member of BASIC, a group that spends most of its time arguing for women priests - and she has called for more rights for homosexuals.
