Mr. White’s Iowa Article Is Biased
Dear Editor: A number of people asked me about Mr. White’s article about the Iowa caucuses about to begin. I indicated that I had not read it and curiosity edged me to read the article. I read the Tablet every week.
Which Democratic Candidate Is Pro-life?
Dear Editor: Two sisters in the congregation of the Humility of Mary are staunch supporters of anyone but Trump (“Iowa Catholics Weigh Choices,” Jan. 25). Sister Elaine closed with, “I’ve gone all the way around the circle and I don’t know where I am right now.” She is surely in the “wrong circle.”
A Long Article Without Much Substance
Dear Editor: I was surprised by the tone of the article “Iowa Catholics Weigh Choices” (Jan. 25).
The President on the Front Page
Dear Editor: I was amazed to see the picture of President Trump on the cover of the February 1 edition of The Tablet.
The Sins Against the Ecology in the Catechism
Dear Editor: The headline (“Styrofoam as a Sin May Be Looming,” Jan. 18) and opening paragraphs of this story are beneath the dignity of The Tablet. I’m thankful that I read through to the inner pages where you finally got serious about the critically important theological reflection about our responsibility for stewardship of God’s creation.
Political Correctness Is Ruining Our Lives
Dear Editor: When did we allow political correctness run (or in this case, ruin) our lives?
Self-Proclaimed Catholic Politicians
Dear Editor: It is very disheartening to see self-proclaimed Catholics like Ms. Pelosi using her title of Catholic to promote abortion, constant slander of our president and outright lies regarding concern she and the Democratic Party claim they have for the DACA or plight of the homeless.
In Praise of Holy Family Catholic Academy
Dear Editor: Holy Family Catholic Academy in Fresh Meadows, Queens is a very special place of learning, because the teaching of the Catholic faith is ongoing every single day in every classroom.
The Priceless Impact of Catholic Education
Dear Editor: The Tablet’s article commenting on the report Catholic On the Inside: Putting Values Back at the Center of Education Reform (“Catholic Schools’ Secret to Success,” Dec. 28, 2019 – Jan. 4, 2020), solidifies the impact that Catholic school education has on the current day society. Be it on the elementary, high school or college level, it is priceless.
