Letter: Have a little faith in religious advertising

Sir: Your editorial, 'Snappy slogans to pack the pews', suggests a slogan for the Roman Catholic Church that was originally coined by Malcolm Muggeridge (among others): 'Be you never so sinful there's no place like Rome.'

As a member of the world's largest religion (798 million members at the last count), I am not sure that the Catholic Church needs to advertise. If it did, however, surely a much more convincing slogan would be simply: 'One fifth of the world's population can't be wrong.'

Yours sincerely,
