Dear Editor: First of all, congratulations to Ed Wilkinson on almost five decades of spreading the news in The Tablet. That is truly amazing when you look back at how fast the 48 years went by. I loved the two-page article on the celebration at World Communications Day.

‘The Mick’ Cancelled
Dear Editor: It is with a grateful heart to our Lord, that the Parent Television Council has announced that the inappropriate TV show called “The Mick” has been canceled, and replaced with a family-oriented show called “Last Man Standing.”
Inspired by Profile
Dear Editor: Antonina Zielinska’s profile of Queens lawyer Sharleen Kraft (May 19) showed that blindness was no obstacle for a determined person to have a full, active life and actively practice a rediscovered faith in the Lord.
Sister Sean Mariae
Dear Editor: Sister Sean Mariae (Sister Kathleen Rose Mulhern, C.S.J.), who died in August, 2016, was my teacher when I was a student for a year at San Conrado in Ponce, Puerto Rico. She was a kind and devoted nun.
Upset by Museum Event
Dear Editor: I am writing to commend reader Richard Hutter (June 2). I agree with everything he said – almost.
Where Teilhard Erred
Dear Editor: It’s been a few years since I’ve read anything by Father Teilhard but if I recall correctly he proposed that at the moment of creation some of the created matter carried a ‘psychic charge’ and that the convergence of this psychically charged matter over time to the point of individual consciousness underscores the evolution of man.
No Longer Catholic Country
Dear Editor: Like many people, I’ve always seen Ireland as a “Catholic country.” However, that view changed forever with the vote on May 25th in which the Irish people repealed the Eighth Amendment which banned abortion (murder) in that country.
The Sands of Time
Dear Editor: With all the ills of society today and the lack of morals and values, perhaps the following could help us back to a reality we’ve forgotten.
Dangers of Marijuana
Dear Editor: Marijuana possessed in public and smoked in public for recreation is neither safe for driving nor for second-hand smoke exposure for non-users. Further, cannabis is not a safe drug for general private recreational use, in view of the body of toxicological effects.
Mockery of the Church
Dear Editor: Your May 12 issue made me look at the cover page to see if you changed your wording of “Catholic Perspective.” Three stories prompted the question.
