The Culture of Death and Mass Shootings
Dear Editor: I just had the opportunity to read the Tablet from Aug.17, and was struck by the article by Christopher White (“Going Beyond Guns,” Aug. 17) examining the factors motivating gun violence in the U.S.
Mother Frances Cabrini Dismissed
Dear Editor: The committee considering women to be honored with statues asked for names (“Mother Cabrini Statue Nixed Despite Vote,” Aug. 24). If it is true that Frances Cabrini received more than twice the votes than the next name, then the decision to dismiss her from the list is puzzling if not biased. Is this […]
Self-Care Catholicism and Mindfulness
Dear Editor: I was very happy to see the feature entitled Self-Care Catholicism (Aug. 24). It is very important that we care for our whole selves – physically, spiritually, and mentally. However, it was a bit disappointing to see the topic of mindfulness addressed in the culturally accepted form which is Buddhist in nature and therefore not compatible with our Catholic faith.
Another Example of Religious Discrimination
Dear Editor: I read the article online by Wandy Ortiz and am disgusted with the decision of Chirlane McCray. It is obviously another example of religious discrimination. I am inquiring to see if The Tablet, as a Catholic media organization would start an online petition campaign to reverse Ms. McCray’s decision. Thank you!
Maybe It Is Something, God Forbid, More Intentional
Dear Editor: Off the top of my head I can think of only one other New York woman of note whose life made as much of a difference to the city as did that of Mother Cabrini and that is Elizabeth Ann Seaton. There are others, for sure, like Eleanor Roosevelt and Dorothy Day. But to by-pass Mother Cabrini for whom a hospital has been named as well as streets and a housing project is to overlook the obvious.
Catholics Are Being Overlooked and Discredited
Dear Editor: Once again, Catholics are being overlooked and discredited (“Mother Cabrini Statue Nixed Despite Vote,” Aug. 24).
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.
Is The Tablet a Republican Newspaper?
Dear Editor: Is The Tablet a Catholic diocesan Newspaper or an official organ of the Republican Party?
Free Press Is Essential to Democracy
Dear Editor: Free press is the country’s defense against total government control of the people and to hold people in government accountable.
