Too Many Changes in Church
Dear Editor: It is truly sad to be living through the results of Vatican II and the sexual revolution that took place in the 1960s and 1970s.
Not a Fan of President
Dear Editor: It was written regarding President Trump’s visit to the Vatican “many in the media chose to use it as another opportunity to slam the President.”
Sister’s Work Goes On
Dear Editor: Sister Jane Talbot, R.S.M., was hired by Father Dominic Cutrone at Our Lady of Grace parish, Gravesend, in 1983. It was probably one of his best choices. Sister Jane passed away in 2009.
Debating Climate Control
Dear Editor: I have to say that pulling out of the Paris Climate Pact was one of Trump’s finest moments. It was him talking, all alone, with everyone against him, to the American worker… and the American taxpayer.
We’ll Miss Father Frank
Dear Editor: Soon Blessed Sacrament parish and Blessed Sacrament Catholic Academy will bid farewell to our pastor, Father Francis Shannon, known to all as Father Frank. He will be moving to St. Mary Star of the Sea-St. Gertrude in Far Rockaway.
Bishop Daily was Pro-Life
Dear Editor: Your tribute to the late Bishop Thomas V. Daily was wonderful and proclaiming him the pro-life leader was right on. I attended the Mass of Christian Burial for Bishop Daily and found it to be spiritually uplifting.
The Gift of Life
Dear Editor: In the May 20th edition of The Tablet’s Youth Page, six high school students in “Youth Views” were asked the question “How has your mother impacted your life”?
Know the Faith
Dear Editor: In response to the recent article, “Why are cradle Catholics leaving the Church?”, I would like to reply. As a literal “cradle Catholic” (having been “rocked” in a cradle by a mother knitting socks or sweaters for other family members), I believe I may be a little qualified.
What’s in Common Cup?
Dear Editor: I need my sisters and brothers in the faith to explain to me what is offered in the “Common Cup” at Communion time.
