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.
Growing Up Polish
Dear Editor: I wish to thank Thomas Straczynski for his beautiful evocation (Dec. 16) of growing up in Polish Greenpoint. Actually, it was all quite familiar to myself since I grew up in Our Lady of Czestochowa parish in South Brooklyn. What beautiful memories! FRANCES GALLAGHER Windsor Terrace
Father Lauder on NET-TV
Dear Editor: NET-TV finally found a slot for the worthwhile program called “Catholic Novels.”
President’s Choice of Words
Dear Editor: President Trump needs to carefully choose his words when giving his opinion on issues that he discusses with his staff.
Prayers for Our Leaders?
Dear Editor: Your recent editorial urges Catholics to pray for our leaders and this is, indeed, worthy advice. You also point out that hot-topic books come and go often with little impact and dubious accuracy.
Don’t Hate the Rich
Dear Editor: It is both sad and boring to have to read repetitious left-wing propaganda that tax cuts for the poor and middle class that do not necessarily further persecute the mislabeled “rich,” who already pay most of the taxes in America and create almost all the mechanisms of goods and services we all depend on, be described as exclusively beneficial for these popular objects of popular hatred.
Bright Christmas Thanks
Dear Editor: It was “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and wonderful it was at our 12th annual Operation Christmas Smiles event on Dec. 16 at St. Mary, Mother of Jesus parish.
