Dear Hector, -

Thank you for your note of 19 February concerning

the letter you received from Pastor- Shaven Cunningham. I

enclose a copy of the submission that Bishop P Power made to

the Committee on the question of prostitution.

As you will see, the Catholic understanding of

prostitution as immoral and reprehensible is not at issue.

How it .is to be approached ire the public forum and in

legislation is however indeed a difficult issue!

- with every best wish. ,

Yours sincerely;

Francis P. Carroll

Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn
