Ms. Bernadette Genovese has asked a very simple question: Dictatorship or Democracy?(TMID, 11, May) I think that she herself has answered her question. We all have the right to speak/write in favour of or against divorce. Including the clergy. Why not?

This clearly shows that we are living in a democracy. Dictatorship means that only those favouring the views of the dictator can express an opinion. Hailing from Żejtun I think that Ms Genovese can distinguish perfectly well between dictatorship and democracy. Unless, at least, she is still young.
