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.
Littering, Another Sin of Civilization
Dear Editor: We could also add littering to the sins of civilization. It encourages rat infestation and lowers the value of real estate in the area (“New Sin, According to Pope Francis,” Jan. 18).
Thanks to the Wonderful Readers of The Tablet
Dear Editor: On behalf of all of us at Hour Children — our board, staff and the women and children we are privileged to serve — I am writing to thank you and the wonderful readers of The Tablet for the very kind support that came to us through 2019’s Bright Christmas Fund. We are humbled by your generosity and grateful for your support!
Terrorism: We Still Have To Be Very Vigilant
Dear Editor: The recent attacks in Great Britain and the Netherlands is yet again another reminder that the scourge of terrorism still plagues us.
Faith Should Be a Shield, Not a Sword
Dear Editor: Any intellectually rigorous treatment of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s doctrine of “cheap grace” (“Cheap Grace,” editorial, Nov. 9) should extend it to include lay people who self-identify as Christians.
