Are We Doing Enough for Our Veterans?
Dear Editor: It has come to my attention that veteran deaths from COVID-19 at Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals have tripled.
Congratulations to Bishop-Elect Sweeney
Dear Editor: I am writing to publicly congratulate Father Kevin Sweeney on being named the eighth Bishop of Paterson, New Jersey (“Brooklyn Priest Named New Bishop of Paterson,” April 18).
Social Distancing to Stop the Pandemic
Dear Editor: Mayor Bill de Blasio is telling city residents to inform the authorities on group activities. Now, to begin with, I’m not a fan of Mayor de Blasio but I believe he is right on target with this idea.
Abortion During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Governor Andrew Cuomo shut down the whole state of New York. The place looks like a modern-day ghost town. Every business I saw was either closed or boarded up.
In Response to Dale A. Pivarunas’ Letter
Dear Editor: Many thanks to The Tablet for proclaiming to be “The Pro-Life Newspaper.” I realize that you allow different views each week to be published in the Readers’ Forum. After reading Dale Anthony Pivarunas’ letter on April 11 (“Is Bernie Sanders’s Form Of Socialism Christian?”), I felt I had to respond because he presented a long argument for Bernie Sanders’ form of Socialism and how it can be examined as being very Christian.
President Trump and Governor Cuomo
Dear Editor: My advice for President Trump is to advise Governor Cuomo that if he wants to open up the economy and have business as usual in New York before he is advised by the president’s advisory group and the death rate rise again the blood will be on his hands.
Universal Basic Income and COVID-19
Dear Editor: On Easter Sunday, The Pope called for a Universal Basic Income or UBI (his declaration was in Spanish as “salario universal”).
Congratulations, Msgr. Casper Furnari!
Dear Editor: I just want to express my happiness about Msgr. Casper Furnari being among the priests of our diocese that were named monsignor, (“Nine Priests From the Diocese of Brooklyn Are Named Monsignors,“ March 7).
A Renewed Sense of Spirituality
Dear Editor: It has just come to my attention the message “Be Not Afraid,” by Cardinal Timothy Dolan. I would like
to applaud Cardinal Dolan for his words that did generate a calming effect on our spirits during this COVID-19 pandemic.
