Dear Editor: Alexander Trachtenberg, who died in 1966, was an American publisher of radical political books and pamphlets. He was a longtime activist in the Socialist Party of America and in the Communist Party USA. He once said that when communism came to America it would come under the label of “progressive democracy.” It will come, he said, in labels acceptable to the American people.
letters to the editor
K. of C. at St. John’s
Dear Editor: They chose the right person for the job: Victoria O’Keefe (“Catholic Relief Services Gets an Assist from St. John’s Campus,” April 6). She did great work at LIU and now we know that she will continue work at St. John’s University.
A Catholic Solution
Dear Editor: The public has been appalled by the fact that just seven African American students were admitted to Stuyvesant High School. A partial solution: Catholic high schools.
Anti-Catholic Hate Crimes
Dear Editor: It is astonishing some commentators have called the people in the Sri Lanka Easter massacre ‘Easter Worshippers’ (“Easter Attacks on Churches in Sri Lanka Are Tragic, but Hardly Surprising,” April 27).
Scammers
Dear Editor: Thank you for your April 20, 2019 article “Scammers in Email Pose as Pastors.” I am an officer of the Saint Andrew Avellino Friendship Club and the Broadway-Flushing Homeowners Association and I recently spoke to both groups about phone scammers.
United Through Christ
Dear Editor: I have truly enjoyed reading all of the articles celebrating Holy Week throughout the Brooklyn and Queens diocese (“Our Multi-Ethnic Diocese Is Touched by World News,” Editor’s Space, April 27).
Thank You, Pamela
Dear Editor: Thanks to Pam for being so brave and telling her story (“Pro-Life Group Helps Women Recover After Abortion,” April 13).
Father Vincent Capodanno
Dear Editor: Are there extraordinary people who do wondrous deeds living in modern times or have all such individuals lived centuries ago in places far away? (“Movie Recalls Heroic Chaplaincy Of New York’s Father Capodanno, Nov. 2018”)
The Real Hypocrisy
Dear Editor: Kudos and right on with your As The Tablet Sees It, “A Path to Justice”, Feb. 23 piece. You put our less than illustrious governor right on the wall of “Anti-Catholic Shame on You.” I have been speaking and writing about this blatant, pre-meditated assault on Christ’s Church since the 90s when the abuse scandal first arose. Our entire Church was being framed and set-up and by a small, but driven group of anti-Catholic dregs and the bottom feeding main stream press and media trash.
Since Cain and Abel
Dear Editor: I may sound ‘doom and gloom’ but there has been scandal in the Church since the beginning (“Church Moving From ‘American Problem’ to American Solutions on Clergy Abuse,”March 2).
