Dear Editor: By discouraging (Jan. 13) the reading of “The Dictator Pope,” and “Fire and Fury,”you are giving credence to the supposition that Catholics are sheep without intellectual curiosity and unable to distinguish fact from fiction.

Surprise! We can read and make our own decisions.

Furthermore, how can you equate an anonymously written book with one written by an acknowledged author who stands by what he has written.

We should pray – most especially for our country.
