Cultural Catholics
Dear Editor: There are those who consider themselves Catholic for social, cultural, or political purposes, but who reject basic religious or moral catholic doctrines.
Terrorist Invaders?
Dear Editor: Recent articles regarding the caravans of illegal migrants present them as innocent women and children in eminent danger. Perhaps some are, but the facts indicate otherwise.
Are You Willing to Pay for It?
Dear Editor: I want to put my two cents in re undocumented immigration.
Illegal Alien, A Legal Term
Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in memory of my grandmother and in respect for my mother. Both my grandmother and mother came to the United States legally as immigrants. Each became a proud American citizen within five years.
About Catholic Novels
Dear Editor: As a retired high school English teacher, I am always intently focused on the weekly commentaries of Father Robert Lauder. His “Forming Conscience Thought Catholic Novels”(Nov. 10) brought back memories of my readings of Flannery O’Connor.
Leadership by Example
Dear Editor: I would like to take a moment to congratulate Ms. Jennifer Baptiste, a true model of lay leadership, who was honored for her ministry as a missionary disciple at the diocese’s 50th anniversary of lay leadership celebration (“Diocese Celebrates Five Decades of Lay Leadership,”Nov. 17).
No Birthright Citizenship
Dear Editor: I would like to support Dennis Duffy’s comments (Readers’ Forum, Nov. 10) supporting President Trump’s amendment to end birthright citizenship.
Politics and Abortion
Dear Editor: Catholics who vote for pro abortion candidates are violating Catholic teachings (“Post-Midterms, Do We Have Two Catholic Churches in America?,’’ The Tablet, Nov. 10). Voting for a pro-abortion candidate is unacceptable and any Catholic who does it, should be excommunicated.
Catholic Doctrine on War
Dear Editor: Your Nov. 10 Editor’s Space reminds us that, “We often forget that World War II changed the name of the Great War (‘the war to end all wars’) into World War I.”
