Words Mean Something

Dear Editor: While I must emphasize that I’m the last person on this planet to defend the leftist odium that passes these days as journalism, whether print or tube, broadcast or cable, “The Tone of the Political Debate Has Hit a New Low” in The Editor’s Space (June 24) causes me to do the unthinkable – defend a network “commentator.”

The Democrats’ Goal

Dear Editor: I would like to give a reason for the media-fueled Russian collusion investigation that I have not seen before. It is my belief that this investigation is nothing more than a campaign strategy for the 2018 mid-term election. If, with the help of the mainstream media, the Democrats can keep this going for another year, they are hoping to convince enough voters to vote Democrat and they will gain control of Congress.

Not a Fan of the President

Dear Editor: Your recent editorial “setting the record straight” concerning President Trump’s meeting with Pope Francis was interesting for what it said, but more so for what is being overlooked.

Sorry, He’s Not a Msgr.

Dear Editor: When a recent Tablet came in the mail, there was a list of new assignments for our priests. Father Peter Purpura was listed with a monsignor’s title. Has he been made a monsignor?

Father Lauder’s New Book

Dear Editor: For those of us who look forward to and enjoy Father Robert Lauder’s column in The Tablet each week, there is now a wonderful opportunity to explore his thinking on Pope Francis.

Thanks for Including Us

Thank you for your excellent coverage of the Mass of Inclusion for People with Disabilities and the Deaf that was celebrated at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica on Sunday, June 4.

Good Luck, Father Smith

Dear Editor: Our outgoing priest, Father William G. Smith became our parish priest when St. Pascal Baylon (SPB) and St. Catherine of Sienna (SCS) parishes were merged in 2008.
