Vegetarian Carol Irvine quotes the new Catholic Catechism: "Animals are God's creatures. He surrounds them with His providential care." (Letters, April 14)
both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of every creeping thingwere destroyed from the earth."
As a vegetarian atheist, I welcome the news there is a society for animal welfare within the Catholic church.
It is not particularly surprising.
There have always been Christians who are better than their creed.
