The Path from Rome
SIR,—What a relief to read 'The Path from Rome' (December 30) as an antidote to the adolescent petulance of Mr Auberon Waugh_ It would be an impertinence for anyone not belonging to the Roman communion to comment on the decision recently taken by Mr Charles Davis. But we may at least be allowed to pay a tribute of respect and admiration to the courage which it must have taken to make it, and to the dignity of its public announcement.
May we perhaps venture a step further, and express genuine sympathy with all those members of the Roman Catholic Church who find themselves wrestling with the searching implications of the decrees of the Vatican Council. It would do some of the rest of us a power of good to realise rather more clearly that, in one form or another, they present a test which all of us have got to face.
