Dear Editor: It is a joy to see Presentation B.V.M., Jamaica, my childhood parish of some 70 years ago still a place of nurturing for its present parish family.

Science Has Settled it
Dear Editor: I often laugh when Liberals start talking about climate change and mock Conservatives or anyone who questions the science.
Washington Recognized It
Dear Editor: Thank you very much to The Editor’s Space (Feb. 13) that mentioned our First President, George Washington. Words of his that stand out in my mind, in particular, are “I cannot tell a lie….”
Pro-Gun?
Dear Editor: In reply to Joan M. Jennings (responses to “We’re Indebted to the Liberals,” Letters to the Editor, The Tablet website, thetablet.org, Feb. 16): Where is the mercy for the children of Sandy Hook from those who adopt simplistic attitudes about how such evil comes to exist? No one has a “pro-gun agenda.”
Let’s Not Play God
Dear Editor: I am responding to the usually conservative Father Pacholczyk’s Feb. 20 column on “Human Organs from Pigs.” I was shocked with his very pro-scientific endorsement of chimeras.
Liberals v. Conservatives
Dear Editor: I disagree with reader Anthony Tenga’s letter (“Another Fan of Liberals,” Feb. 13) and other recent letters in support of political liberals. Specifically, the assertion that support for enforcing immigration laws, as done in every other country in the world, is somehow not within Catholic teaching is not correct.
New York’s Shameful Legacy
Dear Editor: Kudos to John Hourig for his eloquent and passionate comments (Jan. 23) titled “Life is Cheap.” Truly, a sad state of affairs, but a well-articulated home run. On April 9, 1970, the N.Y.S. Assembly took up the debate and roll call on the Abortion Bill, which ended in a deadlock (74-74) – two votes short of the 76 needed for a majority. Before the vote was closed, Assemblyman George Michaels of Cayuga County rose and switched his vote from Nay to Aye. The vote now stood at (75-73) The house Speaker Perry Duryea voted Aye making it (76-74). Bill passed. A day of infamy.
Mike Piazza’s ‘Bodyguard’
Dear Editor: I enjoyed the letter (“Mike Piazza and Bishop ‘Iggy’,”Jan. 23) written by Philip McBride about Mike Piazza’s Easter Vigil visit to Holy Family Church in Fresh Meadows. I was the NYPD officer who was Mike’s “bodyguard” that night. I coordinated the Sunday Mass at Shea Stadium for the players and employees while I […]
Another Fan of Liberals
Dear Editor: I could not agree more with Mary Geraghty’s letter (“We’re Indebted to Liberals,” Feb. 6). Yes, we are truly indebted to the liberals of our society. It has always been those liberal politicians who have worked for the social justice issues that are most important to the needy in our society. On the […]
Reading Recommendation
Dear Editor: Lent has begun. Many ask what they might give up for Lent or what they might do during Lent.
