I was very impressed by your let...Dear Canon Neill<br /><br />I was very impressed by your letter in the Irish Times today about the Robinson affair, compassionate but aware too that these are people who have not hesitated to judge others. <br /><br />As an Anglican based in Northern Ireland it has been appalling to see how far such politicians are from the mainstream. I agree too that they should have joined all those in attendance at the Cardinal Daly funeral-individuals of all faiths and none instead of making matters worse by the grudging attendance before the ceremony and the "excuse" for non attendance.Daly above all else should have been a man after their own heart-opposed to the use of violence for political ends and a hammer of militant republicanism who urged his flock not to vote for Sinn Fein because it was a"sin".<br /><br />By embracing fundamentalism and expecting others to follow their narrow creed, they have sowed the seeds of their own destruction.

I am sure I will get some interesting post in the next few days but I could not stand by and let that priest be so vilified in such a venomous way.<BR/>StephenStephen Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130425037498473898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989890166047940960.post-52704723962756751262008-04-29T14:53:00.000+01:002008-04-29T14:53:00.000+01:00Good afternoon Canon NeilI heard you on the Joe Du...Good afternoon Canon Neil<BR/>I heard you on the Joe Duffy show and to be honest it was some very uncomfortable listening - But I just want to drop you a line to congratulate on been a voice a reason I note you got very little air time but I imagine that your sense was reducing the overall drama that Mr Duffy was trying to build. A good sensible Christian approach was not the one they wanted to hear<BR/><BR/>HughAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
