North Antrim MP, Ian Paisley has released part of a letter from a catholic priest - commending the DUP on its pro-life policies.
It's after Party Leader, Arlene Foster said republicans were defecting to the Democratic Unionists after the historic abortion referendum in the Republic.
Mr Paisley has told Q Radio he won't reveal the priest's identity out of respect for both the cleric and his parishioners.

When asked, how we could be sure the letter was genuine - Mr Paisley did reveal the priest's name to a Q Radio journalist.
The journalist, Bob Huggins, knows the cleric and believes the letter to be genuine.
However, Q Radio will not be revealing his identity.
The letter gives details of the priest's family back ground which has not been publicized.
It goes on to say that the "abortion law reform referendum result in the Republic of Ireland makes it a cold house for traditional catholics".
...And so traditionalists would, says the priest, "now prefer to remain in the north".
