Give a break to those who want to shed light

I BUY the Irish Examiner because it includes among its columnists a thinking young man like Rónán Mullen.

In a recent column he said the Catholic Church has the capacity to be caring. For this he was taken to task in your letters column by Jason FitzHarris (Irish Examiner, October 5) who asked about all the bad things “his church” (a phrase repeated 15 times in the letter) was responsible for.

What is not mentioned is that “his church,” as the people of God, is composed of all of us who wish to belong, and to attack one of its members is to attack the whole body.
