Letter: False voice for God's people

Sir: The Anglican Reverend John Broadhurst of Forward in Faith calls a Belgian Catholic priest a 'crackpot' because he prays that Rome may one day ordain women to the priesthood (report, 14 March). But it is just Catholics like that Belgian priest who are prepared to dismiss the papal condemnation of Anglican orders as 'utterly null and void' and consider John Broadhurst a priest. When this Catholic dissent extends also to recognising women priests, then it becomes an 'attack on the integrity of their own church'.

This may be Forward in Faith to some, but it is certainly not Forward in Logic, still less Charity.

Yours faithfully,
