Dear Editor: I am baffled first by the Editor’s Note in response to “Not a Fan of the President” (July 1-8). I thought it was a bit hostile. It seemed, to me, that you attacked his right to express his opinion. To call his thoughts a “knee-jerk reaction” was not in line with our freedom of speech and democratic way! He supported his statements with policies that the president has put forth.
letters to the editor
Ashamed by the Silence
Dear Editor: Regarding the National Black Catholic Congress in Orlando July 6, Gail DeGeorge’s July 22 article, “Convention Tells Bishops: Support Black Lives Matter,” states that Auxiliary Bishop Fernand Cheri III of New Orleans, La., told the convention: “I apologize to you as a leader of the church because I feel we have abandoned you in the Black Lives Matter movement and I apologize.”
Nation of Laws, Not Chaos
Dear Editor: I refer to front-page article “Bishop Blasts Militarization of Border” (July 22) containing comments by Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas. I could not disagree with Bishop Seitz more.
Revealing Inner Catholicity
Dear Editor: Malachy McCourt, 85, states in his new autobiography, “Death Need Not Be Fatal,” “I am an atheist, thank God.”
Proud of These Principals
Dear Editor: The Institute for Catholic Schools at St. John’s University sends congratulatory wishes to the principals honored by the diocese at the Principals’ Longevity Recognition Awards Celebration (July 1- July 8).
The Right to Live
Dear Editor: Had King George III only known that our country’s interest in declaring and protecting life only began after birth, he might have declared that all pregnancies be terminated. If that were the case the American Revolution might have begun sooner.
Summer of Discontent
Dear Editor: Re: The Summer of Love column (July 1-July 8), there was not one thing about the Summer of Love (1967) that was for Christ. It was all anti-Christ and they wanted everyone in the world to be against establishment, Church and God.
Congrats, Sister Jean
Dear Editor: I would like to congratulate Sister Jean on her 60th anniversary of service to God. She was a teacher and assistant principal at Our Lady of Guadalupe for over 30 years.
Former Pastor in Midwood
Dear Editor: The May 18th issue of The Tablet had some information about priests celebrating their anniversaries of ordination.
Give President a Chance
Dear Editor: I am responding to the “Not a Fan of the President” letter by Edward Wawrynek (July 1-July 8).
