Dear Editor: Without any specifics, two recent letters make the same ridiculous claims about President Trump as the propagandistic media, calling him a fascist, a racist, a white supremacist, a supporter of Russian interventionist policies and a man who “compares” himself to Christ on an occasion of self-deprecating irony.
Letters to the Editor
We welcome letters to the Readers’ Forum, but they must include (for verification purposes) the writer’s full name, home address and phone numbers. Letters with incomplete information won’t be considered for publication. Your name may be withheld upon request, after verification is completed. Letters signed simply “Name Withheld” are not considered for print. Letters should be as brief as possible, and, of course, all letters are subject to editing. Letters containing the proviso “Do Not Edit” also are not considered. You can submit your letter by clicking the button below.
We Get Nothing in Return
Dear Editor: Letter writer Patricia Kenney tells us that the evidence of climate change is irrefutable. The Paris agreement on climate change is nothing more than President Obama’s effort at income redistribution from the United States to Third World countries.
The Cost of Believing
Dear Editor: Many years ago, while a guest at the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Conn., I found myself seated at the dining table next to a Japanese man who was on his way to Rome in order to renew contact with the Vatican relating to the “hidden or secret Catholics” of Japan.
Tribute to Det. McDonald
Dear Editor: Thank you for your beautiful editorial comments about our now sorely-missed Detective McDonald.
Sister Bernadette Cared
Dear Editor: I read in your Jan. 14 issue of the death of Sister Bernadette Downes, C.I.J.. I remember how much Sister Bernadette and her work helped my son, Peter, who had Down Syndrome, back in the 1970s.
Be Quiet on Politics
Dear Editor: Being that the Catholic Church is a tax-exempt organization, it should refrain from publishing letters or telling its members to vote for one candidate or another.
Get Priorities Straight
Dear Editor: I am amazed at the women who find President Trump unacceptable because he used trash talk several years ago.
Climate Control Warning
Dear Editor: It is troubling that President Trump is now questioning climate science and is threatening to pull out of the Paris Accords in which almost 200 nations will work to reduce carbon emissions.
Attending Inauguration
Dear Editor: I’m writing to say how appalled and disappointed I am that our Cardinal Dolan will be participating in Trump’s Inauguration.
Cardinal at Inauguration
Dear Editor: I am replying to Rosemary Parker (Jan. 21) who was disappointed with Cardinal Dolan’s participation in Mr. Trump’s Inauguration.
