USUALLY, I find your leaders talk a lot of sense, but in the one on the subject of proposed measures to support the traditional family (LET, July 24), I feel you missed the mark.
If the Church and the traditional family were still meeting their needs, there would be no problem.
It is not necessarily the fault of the family if it has failed, but that of society as a whole. Like it or not, times have changed and a radical new approach is needed, especially in view of the extent of the dilemma. And as for poems at civil baby-naming ceremonies being akin to paganism, where does that leave your Poet's Corner?
There is much wisdom in the world apart from organised religion and it is usually easier to understand.
