Conflict of beliefs
Brian Fitzpatrick's sophistry (Government & Public Affairs, 6 November) may afford him and other progressive Catholics some peace of mind in supporting political parties or candidates whose ethos is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-life.
One might have had a speck of sympathy for his Labour affiliation were he to have indicated that its objective was to overthrow immoral policies from within. But no, the whole tenor of his article is to disparage those who simply ask: Can one support a party whose policies are increasingly secular-humanist and opposed to the law of God? Where does one draw the line? Would Mr Fitzpatrick employ such sophistry in defence of a member of a party which legislated for the termination of the lives of unwanted members of ethnic minorities?
