You are correct. Bless you for motivating me to procure permanent
protection from wikipedia pathogens.

    Berkeley was a good bishop. As bishop of an economically poor
    Anglican diocese in a predominantly Roman Catholic country,
    he was committed to the well-being of both Protestants and
    Catholics.

    <https://iep.utm.edu/george-berkeley-british-empiricist/>

    In Joseph Stock’s account of the life of the Bishop we read
    that Berkeley addressed a letter to the Roman Catholic Clergy
    of Cloyne in 1745 and in 1749 another to the clergy of that
    persuasion in Ireland under the title a Word to the Wise. It
    was written with so much candour and moderation as well as good
    sense that those gentlemen, highly to their honour, in the
    Dublin Journal of 18 November 1749 thought fit to return ‘their
    sincere and hearty thanks to the worthy author, assuring him that
    they are determined to comply with every particular recommended in
    his address to the utmost of their power’.

Beware: wikipedia's hot take is another hot mess. ROTFLMAO.
