Part of the mission of the Jesuits is to provide a place like Mount St Joseph Retreat House, in Mosta, which can serve as an oasis of silence and beautiful scenery for the soul to rest and recharge its batteries.
The president of the Sports Federation wants us to believe that if there will be a shooting range nearby, visitors to Mount St Joseph will not hear the sound of shooting (Times of Malta, May 5). However, the planned shooting range will definitely destroy Mount St Joseph.
If the powers that be want to be sincere, let them decide that having a shooting range next to Mount St Joseph is not an option.
