Dear Editor: I’m sure that the value of the high school seminary is discerned, analyzed, and evaluated on a regular basis, but the value of Cathedral Prep can not be measured solely by the number of men who immediately continue ordination studies after graduation.

Living Faith by Example
Dear Editor: I enjoyed Father Cush’s article on Sunday’s Scriptures (“True Fathers Teaching True Faith,” July 21), which included the subsequent lesson of teaching the Gospel message through the way we live our lives.
Name Calling Harms Dialog
Dear Editor: Dwayne Ayers’ letter in the July 28 “Readers’ Forum” contains several references to ideas he calls “liberal.” He uses the term five times. In each instance, this is used in a derogatory manner.
Abolish Nuclear Weapons
Dear Editor: As we approach the 73rd anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and as we face increasing threats of new nuclear conflicts, I appeal to the Brooklyn Diocese to address this issue in every church. It is one of the most fundamental pro-life issues we could consider, and it is one of the most Catholic issues that our popes and bishops have been addressing for decades, but one many – perhaps most – Catholics don’t realize is such an integral teaching of our faith.
Witnesses for Life
Dear Editor: We read with delight and interest the story and accompanying photo of Emily Faugno (July 11) in The Tablet. We think your readers would be interested to know that Ms. Faugno is not only a maker of rosaries for children she also served as a sidewalk counselor for the Helpers of God’s Precious […]
Timely Hearings on Racism
Dear Editor: I think having the listening sessions (on racism) are wonderful and long overdue. Speaking with one another is the only way we can bring healing to ourselves, one another and the wider community.
Wrong View from Egypt
Dear Editor: I fully disagree with Ms. Engy Magdy’s article (July 21), which is both erroneous and biased. The Egyptian police do not differentiate between a female Muslim or a Christian victim of harassment, or any other crime. Egyptian men do respect their fellow Egyptian women even if they are non-Muslims.
More on Immigration
Dear Editor: I wholeheartedly agree that children should never be separated from parents under any circumstance, perhaps with the exception of those who commit a crime other than illegal entry.
Seeking Common Sense in Immigration Debate
Dear Editor: I accept Bishop DiMarzio’s opinion in this matter and as Catholics we are grateful for his opinion – as Catholics! As Americans, we and our elected officials are responsible for dealing with an extraordinary situation on our border.
Newspaper of the Year
Dear Editor: Congratulations to The Tablet for being recognized as “The Newspaper of the Year” at the Catholic Media Conference. Reading it each week is one of my favorite pastimes.
