Faith and doctrine

Sir, – Whereas Redemptorist Fr Tony Flannery's reported observation (News, March 31st) that "Catholic doctrines no longer make sense" will procure a knowing nod of approval on the collective part of non-believers, who are of the view, indeed, that they never made sense, what of the believers, caught, surely, between a rock and a hard place? – Yours, etc,
