Catholics and Politics

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.

We Held Our Noses to Vote

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.

Pro-lifers of Jewish Faith

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.

Against Democracy

Dear Editor: Your newspaper publishes assorted letters in favor or against conservative and liberal positions. I believe there is no doubt which of the two main parties is conservative, and which, liberal or progressive.

Interfaith Service

Dear Editor: Thanks for providing us with this inspiring gathering (Brooklynites Find Unity, Hope at Interfaith Thanksgiving Service, The Tablet, Nov. 24).

Cultural Catholics

Dear Editor: There are those who consider themselves Catholic for social, cultural, or political purposes, but who reject basic religious or moral catholic doctrines.

Terrorist Invaders?

Dear Editor: Recent articles regarding the caravans of illegal migrants present them as innocent women and children in eminent danger. Perhaps some are, but the facts indicate otherwise.

Illegal Alien, A Legal Term

Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in memory of my grandmother and in respect for my mother. Both my grandmother and mother came to the United States legally as immigrants. Each became a proud American citizen within five years.

About Catholic Novels

Dear Editor: As a retired high school English teacher, I am always intently focused on the weekly commentaries of Father Robert Lauder. His “Forming Conscience Thought Catholic Novels”(Nov. 10) brought back memories of my readings of Flannery O’Connor.
