Dear Editor: In his Sunday’s Scriptures column, “Embracing Our Vocations Brings True Happiness” (Jan. 17), Father Robert Powers “wishes that we prayed more often that every baptized person discern and respond to the vocation or vocations to which God is calling him.” In response, I would like to applaud Father Powers. In the Scripture passage (1 Samuel […]

Foul!
Dear Editor: The website of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good invites people to join their organization by featuring a photo of Pope Francis hugging a disabled young boy and asking people to join them in “fighting for a culture of life, justice and encounter in the public sphere.” Its Pro-Life page includes a […]
Challenging Cuomo
Dear Editor: Only those who desire to be misled would believe that Mario Cuomo was ever “personally opposed” to abortion. Never once did Mario Cuomo say that abortion was evil, intrinsically or otherwise. Never once did he say – as the bishops had, as he himself could have said – that opposition to abortion as a matter […]
Bright Christmas Thanks
Dear Editor: The Tablet’s Bright Christmas Campaign has shed light on the St. Francis House! We are very grateful for your generosity. It was a difficult Christmas this year because of Father Benedict’s (Groeschel) passing. I know he is praying for us and our benefactors who have been so kind to us, since the home […]
Midwood’s Hall of Fame
Dear Editor: The year was 1968. I was a seven-year- old in the second grade at Our Lady Help of Christians (OLHC) when my mother came home from an open school night and told me, “Hey, Ken, someone in your class has a very famous father. I just met the girl’s mother this evening.” I […]
Differing on Cuomo
Dear Editor: I have always looked forward to reading Father John Cush’s columns and he has my utmost respect but this week’s Up Front & Personal (Jan. 10) left me stunned. Why did Father Cush quote Christopher Hale from the dissident group Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, a notorious pro-abortion Democrat Catholic front group […]
Rally Will Support Police
Dear Editor: This truly is a sad time for the City of New York and the country as two police officers were executed in cold blood while in their patrol car serving the community. They were Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos. This took place in Bedford-Stuyvesant and this heinous act was perpetrated by a […]
Keeping Satan at Bay
Dear Editor: Great job with your editorials this week. Right on target. I hope that everyone reads and fully understands where you were coming from. As I have said so often, “Satan is walking in our midst. His primary targets are the easy ones – those whose faith is weak or empty.” His messengers and […]
Cuomo’s Catholic Problem
Dear Editor: Mario Cuomo, despite his immigrant parent upbringing in Queens and his overwhelming education at Catholic schools and then St. John’s University and St. John’s Law School, where his pictures are hung on every available wall, he chose the Ultra-Liberal Democratic Party above his religious directives. I, by all means, cannot sit in judgment […]
Bright Christmas Thanks
Dear Editor: I wish to take this opportunity to thank you and the Bright Christmas campaign for your generous donation to Visitation B.V.M. Church. It will indeed be used to brighten Christmas for the parish’s children. Many thanks and God bless you. May you have a wonderful Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year. […]
