Dear Editor: I would like to support Dennis Duffy’s comments (Readers’ Forum, Nov. 10) supporting President Trump’s amendment to end birthright citizenship.

Letters containing the proviso “Do Not Edit” also are not considered. You can submit your letter by clicking the button below.
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.”
A Gentle Soul
Dear Editor: I remember her well (“Her Name Was Caroline,” The Tablet, Nov. 3), always kind, always with a smile. Only asked that we keep our streets clean.
The Latin Mass
Dear Editor: Veronica Ganzos made a plea for more Latin Masses because they are inclusive and bring parishioners of different backgrounds together. That point is absolutely correct and is one reason the Latin Mass, now known as Mass in the Extraordinary Form, is coming back.
The Trust of the Faithful
Dear Editor: As a start (Newspapers Examine U.S. Bishops’ Responses to Abuse Allegations, The Tablet, Nov. 10), I’d like to make three suggestions for how bishops can begin to regain the trust of the faithful.
Gun Violence
Dear Editor: Homicide, mayhem and mass shootings by gun violence have become our national drink. When these events occur, we pour out like a recurring decimal with condemnation, outcry and hypocritical statements of pain and sorrow.
An Unquenchable Thirst
Dear Editor: I would respond to Mr. Lancucki (An Anti-Catholic Bias, The Readers’ Forum, Sept. 29) that everything he wrote about the Democratic Party “there is no honor … only an unquenchable thirst for power by any means necessary” actually applies to the Republican Party.
Teaching on Abortion
Dear Editor: I read about Pope Saint Paul VI and his faith (The First Modern Pope, The Tablet, Oct. 20) and understood why he was so loved yet also hated by some.
Synagogue Shooting
Dear Editor: My heart cries out for your lost loved ones, and for all those left behind, family, friends, congregants, for such a heinous crime… My prayers are with all of you and your suffering.
