Dear Editor: I read the article online by Wandy Ortiz and am disgusted with the decision of Chirlane McCray. It is obviously another example of religious discrimination. I am inquiring to see if The Tablet, as a Catholic media organization would start an online petition campaign to reverse Ms. McCray’s decision. Thank you!
letters to the editor
Maybe It Is Something, God Forbid, More Intentional
Dear Editor: Off the top of my head I can think of only one other New York woman of note whose life made as much of a difference to the city as did that of Mother Cabrini and that is Elizabeth Ann Seaton. There are others, for sure, like Eleanor Roosevelt and Dorothy Day. But to by-pass Mother Cabrini for whom a hospital has been named as well as streets and a housing project is to overlook the obvious.
Catholics Are Being Overlooked and Discredited
Dear Editor: Once again, Catholics are being overlooked and discredited (“Mother Cabrini Statue Nixed Despite Vote,” Aug. 24).
Mother Cabrini Is the Heroine This City Needs!
Dear Editor: Once again, I congratulate The Tablet for covering this issue (“Mother Cabrini Statue Nixed Despite Vote,” Aug. 24) and this important, yes, very important omission from consideration by the Mayor, as well as the commission assigned to the task of reviewing the matter of increased numbers of statues to honor women of New York.
Is The Tablet a Republican Newspaper?
Dear Editor: Is The Tablet a Catholic diocesan Newspaper or an official organ of the Republican Party?
Free Press Is Essential to Democracy
Dear Editor: Free press is the country’s defense against total government control of the people and to hold people in government accountable.
In Defense of the Pharmaceutical Industry
Dear Editor: I take offense of the cartoon you printed in the July 27, 2019 issue. To show a depiction of the pharmaceutical industry as a greedy industry raising prices of pharmaceuticals by thousands of a percent is very deceitful.
American Citizens Deserve Help Too
Dear Editor: Catholic Extension has announced their Aid for Families of Deported Breadwinners program (The Tablet website, Aug. 9).
About the Validity of Canonical Marriage
Dear Editor: A concerned parent wrote and asked if their marriage, and the marriages of two of their children, which were celebrated by a priest who later left the priesthood, were still considered valid. They can rest assured that they are.
WW II Veteran Recieves his High School Diploma at 93
Dear Editor: My father, Joseph Quinlivan, received his high school diploma on Father’s Day of this year. At 93 he is a proud World War II Veteran who left school to serve his country.
