Dear Editor: Here we go again! An individual, who I will keep unnamed, accused of breaking into a 65-year-old woman’s home, assaulting her and stealing her car was arrested after allegedly assaulting another woman and running from police. He was eventually caught after local officers chased him through a neighborhood.
letters to the editor
Reactions to Charlottesville
Dear Editor: I am not surprised, but am nonetheless disappointed, to read of your editorial staff’s support for the removal of the statue of General Robert E. Lee (“The Insanity of Racism,” Aug. 19).
Let’s Pray for President
Dear Editor: Congratulation to the Editor on his level-headed response to the Letter to the Editor titled “Not a Fan of the President.”
The Great Msgr. Bannan
Dear Editor: As Jim Mancari wrote (July 29) Msgr. Martin Bannan was ordained in 1956, a year that two priests from my parish in Queens were ordained. Both these priests, also adequate ball players, decided to put up their team including Bannan against our CYO team, this was in about 1959.
Grateful for Msgr. Flood
Dear Editor: Thank you immensely for correcting the omission of Msgr. William Flood’s service (1986-95) in Our Lady Help of Christians, Brooklyn, in the coverage of his 60th anniversary (May 18).
Be Careful During Eclipse
Dear Editor: In the July 15 edition of The Tablet, my eye was drawn to the article “Scientist-Brother, Parish Ready for Total Eclipse.” As a middle school science teacher, this is a topic of great interest to me. While I enjoyed the article, one paragraph was of concern – the one about safely observing the eclipse. I feel the information was not complete and could be easily misinterpreted by readers. I have three concerns:
Doctrine v. Ministry
Dear Editor: While I entirely agree with the sentiments (The Editor’s Space, Aug. 5) you expressed about Church unity (and would underscore that as Catholics we are obliged to do so), I respectfully disagree with your observations about how that should be done. More importantly, I disagree with your assessment about the state of the Church now and its clear teachings on the sacraments, including marriage.
Msgr. Bannan Thanks
Dear Editor: I wanted to drop a line to say I just read the beautiful article in The Tablet about my uncle (“Msgr. Bannan Chose Priesthood Over Hoops,” July 29).
‘Dunkirk’ Off the Mark
Dear Editor: Mr. Mulderig’s review of “Dunkirk,” in the July 29 issue of The Tablet, was off the mark, “Dunkirk” failed to educate the audience.
Political Argumentation
Dear Editor: The article from Civilita Cattolica about Catholic fundamentalism in the U.S. is a political tirade full of inaccuracies and exaggerations (typical of political argumentation), attacking opposing policies. Most American sources are from progressive publications, and quoting the authors, we can say that people who do not agree with them are being demonized. The Church can include both of them, provided they treat God and neighbor with charity.
