Heelers to Mary Kenny, journalist, feature writer and woman of letters.

Hey Mares.
Quite liked your recent article about Archbishop Diarmuid Martin which was published in the normally wishy washy liberal atheistic Farmers Journal owned private business run for profit newspaper styled misleadingly The Irish Catholic.
By the way, I've liked a lot of your Christian writing over the years, although you do tend to wish and wash a bit yourself on occasion.
The only article you ever wrote that I positively didn't like was the one in the Daily Express where you reached out to soccer hooligans, saying they'd be the first ones we'd ask to fight for us in a war.
I respected hugely your decision to leave the Daily Express after it was taken over by a porn baron.
Actually I had a bet on with my brother Bernard at the time that both you and Peter Hitchens would walk.
I was right on both counts.
It is a great burden Mary to be always right.
James

Thanks James – just a rushed word to say I appreciated your email. Have to catch a train now, but look forward to reading your blog later.
Occasionally, one is nudged into wishy-washiness by the New Testament warning of "judge not, that ye be not judged"....! Mary
