Franciscans’ Ample Wings
Dear Editor: In 1954, the Grey Nuns, from Queens, told my brother-in-law’s mother that he was headed to the reformatory, so why not send him there. Not willing to give up on her 10-year-old, only child, she found St. Anthony’s in Greenpoint.
Pets Reflect God
Dear Editor: I am responding to Father Robert Lauder’s column (April 29) titled “A Dynamic Love Relationship.” I read with great interest his point of view in the section “All Creatures Resemble God.”
Exodus of Pro-Life Dems
Dear Editor: President Trump spoke eloquently and sincerely about horrific facts of the Holocaust. He made profound statements, some of which should become integral parts of our humanity and conscience. Although he was discussing Nazi attempts to “extinguish human life,” by murdering six million Jews, Trump’s words apply to all genocide and the abortion of millions of American babies since Roe v.

She cautions that we shouldn’t stereotype her because of her Catholic identity.
Bishop Ray’s Example
Dear Editor: In regard to the upcoming Year for Vocations, I would most respectfully suggest that one of the best recruitment “advertisements” for vocations is to have people spend some time with Auxiliary Bishop Ray Chappetto.
The Franciscan Brothers
Dear Editor: In response to The Tablet’s editorial “Our Brothers” (April 22), I have written this letter. Thank you for doing this.
Need More Information
Dear Editor: I am a 70-year-old cover-to-cover reader of The Tablet, and have been so since well before my teens. I have never written a letter of complaint until today, as I do so with regard to the Letter to the Editor titled, “News That’s Fit to Print” (April 22).
