Mother Cabrini Is the Heroine This City Needs!
Dear Editor: Once again, I congratulate The Tablet for covering this issue (“Mother Cabrini Statue Nixed Despite Vote,” Aug. 24) and this important, yes, very important omission from consideration by the Mayor, as well as the commission assigned to the task of reviewing the matter of increased numbers of statues to honor women of New York.

Dear Editor: Free press is the country’s defense against total government control of the people and to hold people in government accountable.

The Dignity and Majesty of the Latin Mass
Dear Editor: One of the last bastions for meditation and contemplation is the Tridentine low Mass. The use of quiet before and during preserves the dignity and majesty.
