• In your editorial (26 February) you talk about Cardinal O'Brien as
leading a "narrow" Scottish church. In fact, he led a church devoted
to the minority rights of asylum seekers, defended the rights of the least
well-off, supported the need for urgent action on climate change, and was a
powerful voice, alongside successive moderators of the Church of Scotland, in
condemning the possession and use of nuclear weapons. So, on
a balanced view, not obviously a narrow church.

• I would like to say a public thank you to
Cardinal Keith O'Brien. He is one of the few church leaders who has
consistently and unconditionally condemned the immorality of nuclear weapon
policies. His solid support has been of the greatest value. If we succeed in
preventing £100bn being spent on the replacement of Trident his contribution
will have played a major part.
