Transition at Mary Louis
Dear Editor: Thanks for great story about the “New Principal at Mary Louis” (April 28).
Stand Up to Bigotry
Dear Editor: In Mexico, Nigeria, other areas of Africa and other countries in the world priests and other Catholics are being killed just because they are Catholic.
Family Participation
Dear Editor: I notice the Church congregations are mostly adults. Not a good sign.
Planned Parenthood Tactics
Dear Editor: While the death of human beings in the womb has decreased in non-Planned Parenthood facilities, they’ve dramatically increased at Planned Parenthood because that’s where the money is.
Cosby’s Name Removed
Dear Editor: The caption under the photo of St. Frances Academy indicates the Cosby name was removed from the Community Center because of Mr. Cosby’s convictions.
Questions Plowshares Story
Dear Editor: Like most of your readers, I love the holy Catholic faith. Naturally, I am filled with deep sorrow when I come across an article about church property being vandalized, as was reported by The Tablet (Feb. 18, Vandalism Strikes Again at American Martyrs Church). Judging by the title and the accompanying photos showing the damage inflicted on the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, it was unequivocal to the reader that The Tablet was justifiably disturbed by such vandalism of church property in our home diocese and condemned such irrational acts.
Respectful Church Music
Dear Editor: I find the recent letters on the music for liturgy very interesting. I remember as a young boy going to Rockefeller Center and there was always a segment of organ music played live. I remember when the organ was the only instrument in churches and I did survive.
Action vs. Indecent TV
Dear Editor: I praise letter writer Thomas G. Straczynski for his extraordinarily well-written description (April 21) of what has become of the entertainment industry, particularly Fox’s show “The Mick.” This show has been an abomination and a ghastly attack on our country’s Christian beliefs, and its morality and code for civilized behavior. The show has been exploitive of the child actors it pays, as well as condoning the horrific language and behavior of the cast characters used against one another.
Modern-Day Missionary
Dear Editor: I read Tony Rossi’s article “Sister Ave Tells Story of a Modern-Day Missionary.” After reading the book, I felt the great friendship that Arthur Mirell and Sister Ave shared. He accepted his cross of mental illness, schizophrenia.
