Dear Editor: Many of our fellow Catholics are voicing their opinion about the current turmoil in our country and are expressing different opinions about it. I believe that one of the most important issues is not being addressed sufficiently and that is the facilitation of abortionists by Catholics themselves.

Couple of Great Seabees
Dear Editor: I read Jim Mancari’s sports column every week but his Sept. 9 column about his grandpa was the best. He sounded like a wonderful man.
Gil Was a True All-Star
Dear Editor: Thanks so much for Jim Mancari’s column (Sept. 2) on the great Gil Hodges. As a young girl, I was lucky enough to see him many times at Ebbets Field and, naturally, just loved the big Marine.
Leave the Statues Alone
Dear Editor: This madness that is currently going on regarding removing statues of famous people who have something in their past that does not meet with the lofty standards of those liberals among us is ridiculous.
Condemn All Racism
Dear Editor: “Diocese Established New Commission on Racism” (Sept. 2, 2017), tells us “Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio is forming a new commission to study the effects of racism in the Church and on the Diocese. He made the announcement Aug. 24 at a special Mass for Solidarity and Peace to counter the racist overtones of demonstration in Charlottesville, Va.”
Clarifications Wantedl
Dear Editor: As a convert and faithful Catholic, I was happy to see America’s Catholic bishops bravely speaking out in their condemnation of the reported racism of those who were neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia.
President Misunderstood
Dear Editor: I think there is some misconception about President Trump’s action regarding DACA.
Pro-Abortion Politicians
Dear Editor: Many of our fellow Catholics are voicing their opinion about the current turmoil in our country and are expressing different opinions about it. I believe that one of the most important issues is not being addressed sufficiently and that is the facilitation of abortionists by Catholics themselves.
Is the Watchman Asleep?
Dear Editor: In the traditional High Mass is the prayer: “Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis.” “Set aside, O Lord, before my mouth, and a door round about my lips.” (Psalm 140, 3-4)
Moral Theology’s Depth
Dear Editor: I am deeply saddened that your references to Pope Francis’ pontificate show no awareness of the numerous issues for which thousands of thoughtful Catholic luminaries have been expressing grave concern.
