Letter: Sister Gabriel's failed prophecy

Sir: Like Christopher Hilton (letter, 30 July), I am looking forward to hearing from Sister Marie Gabriel - not because I hope for an apology, but because I suspect that she will tell us that her forecast was correct. What I am curious to learn is how.

Yours sincerely,
