Dear Editor: Sister Sean Mariae (Sister Kathleen Rose Mulhern, C.S.J.), who died in August, 2016, was my teacher when I was a student for a year at San Conrado in Ponce, Puerto Rico. She was a kind and devoted nun.
letters to the editor
Upset by Museum Event
Dear Editor: I am writing to commend reader Richard Hutter (June 2). I agree with everything he said – almost.
Where Teilhard Erred
Dear Editor: It’s been a few years since I’ve read anything by Father Teilhard but if I recall correctly he proposed that at the moment of creation some of the created matter carried a ‘psychic charge’ and that the convergence of this psychically charged matter over time to the point of individual consciousness underscores the evolution of man.
No Longer Catholic Country
Dear Editor: Like many people, I’ve always seen Ireland as a “Catholic country.” However, that view changed forever with the vote on May 25th in which the Irish people repealed the Eighth Amendment which banned abortion (murder) in that country.
The Sands of Time
Dear Editor: With all the ills of society today and the lack of morals and values, perhaps the following could help us back to a reality we’ve forgotten.
Dangers of Marijuana
Dear Editor: Marijuana possessed in public and smoked in public for recreation is neither safe for driving nor for second-hand smoke exposure for non-users. Further, cannabis is not a safe drug for general private recreational use, in view of the body of toxicological effects.
Mockery of the Church
Dear Editor: Your May 12 issue made me look at the cover page to see if you changed your wording of “Catholic Perspective.” Three stories prompted the question.
Catholic Consciousness
Dear Editor: Father Lauder made interesting comments about Sigmund Freud in his column (May 5). And this brought to mind Paul Vitz’s book, “The Christian Unconscious of Sigmund Freud.”
Remembering Our Priests
Dear Editor: I would like to thank Msgr. Steven Ferrari and the staff of The Tablet for the lovely article (May 17) about my great uncle, Msgr. Eugene Feldhaus, and Bishop Rene Valero (“Remembering ‘Glory’ Years Of Two Great B’klyn Priests”).
Questions Plowshares Story
Dear Editor: Like most of your readers, I love the holy Catholic faith. Naturally, I am filled with deep sorrow when I come across an article about church property being vandalized, as was reported by The Tablet (Feb. 18, Vandalism Strikes Again at American Martyrs Church). Judging by the title and the accompanying photos showing the damage inflicted on the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, it was unequivocal to the reader that The Tablet was justifiably disturbed by such vandalism of church property in our home diocese and condemned such irrational acts.
