Life March Needs Support
Dear Editor: On Friday Jan, 19, I joined hundreds of thousands of people to remember and demonstrate against the Supreme Court decision of Roe v Wade (which made abortion the law of the land in the USA) in Washington, D.C., in the March for Life.
Tribute to Msgr. Rodgers
Dear Editor: I learned that Msgr. William J. Rodgers passed away on Jan. 21. I have known Msgr. Rodgers since he arrived at St. Patrick’s, Kent Ave., in 1956 when I was nine years old. Even then I realized that he was an intellectually curious person. His rooms in the rectory were loaded with books from floor to ceiling. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. from St. John’s University. His doctoral dissertation was on the American philosopher and logician Charles Sanders Pierce.
Non-Ethnic Identity
Dear Editor: Are there any people out there who would like to celebrate their non-ethnic identity?
Bright Christmas Thanks
Dear Editor: I am writing once again to thank you for your gift to Families, Fathers, and Children, the prison ministry program operating out of St. Augustine parish, Park Slope. Because of your continued support and generosity, this program is able to provide much needed care and support to families, especially children who have fathers in prison.
The Killing Goes On
Dear Editor: Jan. 22, 1973, the day any claim we had to being a Christian nation ended. Christians do not allow the killing of innocent human beings and that became legal in the U.S. on that horrendous day.
Was It Papal Overreach?
Dear Editor: I really admired Father Cush before he wrote this column… and now even more so. He was brave to put this story (Was This A Case of Papal Overreach?, Jan. 20) out there with all of its gut-wrenching questions, and challenging us Catholics to come to our own conclusions.
Marching for Immigrants
Dear Editor: We were among the 200,000 who took part in the Women’s March on Jan. 20 in Manhattan.
A Child’s View of Race
Dear Editor: Bishop DiMarzio and the U.S. Bishops are courageously addressing the sin of racism.
Blessings of Maryknoll
Dear Editor: I read with interest your article concerning Bishop Francis X. Ford and his hopefully impending sainthood.
