Chicago: Astronomy & Astrophysics Lines: 22 ***** Hi jmm, Gee, I was so blown (pun!!) away by your description of your interfamily relations that I could hardly finish reading your article. No, I have nothing against Catholics -- I became a member of the Church on Holy Saturday, 1951, made my First Communion six years later, and became a Soldier of Christ while in the third grade at St. Mary's Elementary School in downtown Albuquerque. What I don't like is the interfamily relation between Church and State that exists in Eire today. Faced with the very real possibility of living in Dublin (especially if the INS doesn't act soon on approving my husband's residency status) I am distinctly uncomfortable with the idea of living in a country guided by the hand of Holy Mother Church. I have, therefore, great deal of sympathy for the Protestants of Northern Ireland, especially as the majority of that country's population favors the British Parliament to the Irish Dail.
