Dear Editor: I was a parishioner of Guardian Angel Parish when Msgr. Perfecto Vasquez was pastor. After every Mass, he always said, “Let us do our best and God will do the rest.” This was deeply refreshing in a world that wants to do it all by themselves.

Abortion, Euthanasia
Dear Editor: Mr. Tom Moreno’s letter, (Readers’ Forum, Nov. 10) really turns things upside down. It’s the Democratic Party that is the “Death” party. I refer to their stance on abortion, euthanasia. Point in fact, just watch one of our ‘wonderful’ governor’s campaign ads if you have the stomach for it! I cringed and changed […]
Abortion and Violence
Dear Editor: In answer to Siobhan’s question (Siobhan O’Connor, Catholic Teachings, Readers’ Forum, Dec. 1): There are no politicians, right now, who fit this mandate. The sticking points seem to be abortion and poverty.
A Request for Information
Dear Editor: My people, who came to Williamsburg from Pescopagano, Italy, established a Societa’ Operaia San Francesco di Paola of Brooklyn, NY, in the year 1901. (“St. Francis of Paola: An Italian Refuge for 100,” The Tablet, Nov. 17).
Harsh and Biased
Dear Editor: It is unfortunate that the words of Pope Francis have been taken out of context in so many printed statements, including The Tablet. To print headlines such as, “Pope: Homosexual priests should be celibate or leave,”(The Tablet, Dec. 8) sounds quite harsh and biased.
Muslims Reverence Mary
Dear Editor: I am a Muslim New Yorker who reads The Tablet from time to time, and of course your front page headline “Muslim Baby Dropped Off a Catholic Church” (The Tablet, Dec. 1, 2018) compelled my attention. First, I believe anyone must appreciate the decency and compassion with which the pastor and staff of Our Lady of Refuge responded to this emergency human need. May God bless them.
Thanks to Bishop DiMarzio
Dear Editor: So appreciate this article (“Unity Through Christ on Migration Day,” The Tablet, Dec. 8) and the beautiful reality it describes, now and throughout history of the USA.
We Can’t Afford It
Dear Editor: Free college education is very expensive. The overtaxed citizens of New York State cannot afford it. The government of New York is very generous spending our money to promote a socialistic agenda.
‘Ten Cents a Copy!’
Dear Editor: I have some great memories of The Tablet back in the mid-1960s when I was attending St. Rose of Lima School, Parkville Ave., Brooklyn. Back then, the whole school had to attend Mass on Sunday at 9 a.m. Church was packed in those days.
Gun Control
Dear Editor: When will Americans stop submitting to the hypocrisy and foolishness of blaming violence on guns and not on its cause? (Gun Violence, Readers’ Forum, Nov. 17)
