Proud of These Principals
Dear Editor: The Institute for Catholic Schools at St. John’s University sends congratulatory wishes to the principals honored by the diocese at the Principals’ Longevity Recognition Awards Celebration (July 1- July 8).
The Right to Live
Dear Editor: Had King George III only known that our country’s interest in declaring and protecting life only began after birth, he might have declared that all pregnancies be terminated. If that were the case the American Revolution might have begun sooner.
Summer of Discontent
Dear Editor: Re: The Summer of Love column (July 1-July 8), there was not one thing about the Summer of Love (1967) that was for Christ. It was all anti-Christ and they wanted everyone in the world to be against establishment, Church and God.
Congrats, Sister Jean
Dear Editor: I would like to congratulate Sister Jean on her 60th anniversary of service to God. She was a teacher and assistant principal at Our Lady of Guadalupe for over 30 years.
The Law Is the Law
Dear Editor: This is in rebuttal to Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, Texas, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops concerning his view in that local law enforcement and local jurisdictions should not be required to enforce federal immigration law as it appeared in The Tablet (June 17).
Former Pastor in Midwood
Dear Editor: The May 18th issue of The Tablet had some information about priests celebrating their anniversaries of ordination.
Give President a Chance
Dear Editor: I am responding to the “Not a Fan of the President” letter by Edward Wawrynek (July 1-July 8).
Stop the Name Calling
Dear Editor: Some of the letters about President Trump truly amaze me and it shows how closed-minded some people are who only vote party.
Horror of Health Care Bill
Dear Editor: What a horror we face. Both Houses of Congress propose legislation to replace the Affordable Care Act. With minor differences, the proposed laws will take medical care away from our fellow citizens, who are either poor or lower middle-income workers (an estimated 23 million), and give our very richest citizens $ 800 billion in a tax return; there are about three million of these richest people.
