ear Editor: I read the Tablet from front to back each week and enjoy being current with all things Catholic.

More on Msgr. Bannan
Dear Editor: Obviously, there are many well deserved platitudes due the late Msgr. Marty Bannan as noted in the past weeks’ issues. As one of his parishioners in St. Ephrem’s parish, I worked on several committees and provided electrical maintenance and installations for him.
A Pro-Life Hero
Dear Editor: Every Saturday morning, together with my pro-life friends, I see a man probably in his 50s or early 60s, obviously not among the elite of our society, going into the McDonald’s located next to the building where we pray on the sidewalk for the life of the unborn who are destined to be slaughtered in that building right alongside the McDonald’s restaurant.
Memories of Dominican
Dear Editor: “Dominican stands ever fair in towering majesty, Queen of the hosts of learning, long years may she ever be…” were the opening lines of our school song.
Reinterpreting History
Dear Editor: I was deeply saddened by The Tablet’s editorial (Aug. 16) joining the chorus of leftist fanatics and rubberstamping the desecration of a statue of General Robert E. Lee. Saddened because The Tablet has apparently hopped upon the bandwagon or, rather, the juggernaut of political correctness which now demands a Stalin-like, Mao-like revisionism of American history.
The Law Is the Law
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.
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).
