Dear Editor: I am a Muslim New Yorker who reads The Tablet from time to time, and of course your front page headline “Muslim Baby Dropped Off a Catholic Church” (The Tablet, Dec. 1, 2018) compelled my attention. First, I believe anyone must appreciate the decency and compassion with which the pastor and staff of Our Lady of Refuge responded to this emergency human need. May God bless them.

Dear Editor: Free college education is very expensive. The overtaxed citizens of New York State cannot afford it. The government of New York is very generous spending our money to promote a socialistic agenda.

Dear Editor: I have some great memories of The Tablet back in the mid-1960s when I was attending St. Rose of Lima School, Parkville Ave., Brooklyn. Back then, the whole school had to attend Mass on Sunday at 9 a.m. Church was packed in those days.

Dear Editor: When will Americans stop submitting to the hypocrisy and foolishness of blaming violence on guns and not on its cause? (Gun Violence, Readers’ Forum, Nov. 17)

Dear Editor: The question remains (Dolan: Even Without Vote, Discussing Abuse Protocols Still ‘Productive,’ The Tablet, Nov. 17) that if the Vatican’s only concern was to ensure that the best possible solution would be reached in a larger context than that of the U.S. Church alone, why did they wait until the eleventh hour to articulate their view and request that the vote be suspended?

Dear Editor: A citizen who votes for a politician who seeks to oppress the poor for political or economic gain is violating Catholic teachings (Tom Byrnes, Politics and Abortion, Readers’ Forum, Nov. 17).

Dear Editor: Tom Byrnes (Politics and Abortion, Readers’ Forum, Nov. 17) should realize that the millions of faithful Catholics across this great nation will only vote for the party that truly represents the real values of both the Church and Christ by putting the needs of the poor and working class over the needs of the ultra wealthy; providing healthcare access to all from birth to death, caring for a delicate environment, establishing a responsible immigration policy that respects human dignity and keeps families united; and respecting people from all religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds.

Dear Editor: It would be ideal if we the people can still vote for nice, decent candidates from either party who could represent our interests. Sadly, that time has long gone.

Dear Editor: As a pro-lifer of the Jewish faith, I say bravo to Tom Byrnes and Tori Grillo for their wonderfully inspiring letters in The Tablet Readers’ Forum (Politics and Abortion, Nov. 17) opposing the abortion and anti-life mentality.
