Dear Editor: In the past few weeks, you have covered some very important stories related to nuclear weapons for which I thank you. The first reported on Sister Megan Rice and the film in which she is featured, “The Nuns, The Priests, and the Bomb.”

Plowshares Follow Up
Dear Editor: I thank The Tablet for allowing a critique of its recent coverage of the Plowshare Movement. I also appreciate the editor’s note in clarifying that the Church’s Magisterium takes no stance on the wisdom of the Movement’s tactics, namely, the trespassing and defacing of government property as a means to abolish nuclear weapons and war.
Taken to Task for Plowshares
Dear Editor: I read with great interest the letter from Dennis Torre in which he took you to task for merely reporting the Kings Bay Plowshares action. Apparently he was seeking a more condemnatory note, which I feel sure on a variety of other topics he would categorize as “fake news.”
Church Social Doctrine
The conflict of visions between idealists and realists is difficult to understand. Should we judge intentions or results?
The Faces of Evil
Dear Editor: In response to your April 28 editorial, Satan is alive and well!
Rego Park Is Changing
Dear Editor: Regarding the closing of Our Lady of the Angelus School…
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.
