Dear Editor: In response to Rosemary Parker’s comments (Jan. 21) that she is “appalled” that Cardinal Dolan attended the Trump Inauguration, I would like to remind her that the candidate that she supported along with her union (United Federation of Teachers) was advocating policies that were in direct conflict with Catholic teaching.

Although, as all of us, President Trump has many shortcomings, his positions on vital Catholic issues was why “we Catholics” had to support him and not Hillary Clinton.
