The Order of the Mass

Dear Editor: It is time to set the record straight. I must respond to Mr. Gange’s comments (Readers’ Forum, Nov. 12).

Continue to Speak for Justice

Dear Editor: After enduring the most exhausting and turbulent presidential campaign in modern history, now is the time to reflect on our role as Catholic Christians. Donald Trump conducted a campaign fueled by hatred, fear, racism, xenophobia and misogyny.

Farewell to Nursing School

Dear Editor: Thank you for Michael Rizzo’s wonderful article on St. Catherine’s Hospital School of Nursing final breakfast! It was with great joy that I read this.

Congratulations to Bishop

Dear Editor: First of all, my congratulations to Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio on his 20 years of episcopal service.

Reactions to Elections

Dear Editor: In regards to Patricia Kenney’s letter (Nov. 5), I beg to differ in all aspects.

Conscientious Distinctions

Dear Editor: While columnist George Weigel makes some legitimate criticisms of the culture and the flaws of the presidential candidates (Oct. 29), he fails to distinguish between the pro-life, pro-marriage, religious freedom positions of the Republican Party and the pro-abortion, pro-homosexual “marriage,” anti-religious freedom positions of the Democratic Party.

Celebrating Mary’s Month

Dear Editor: During the month of October, we honored Our Lady, especially under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary. One Saturday, throughout our country, we were asked to publically show our devotion to Mary by reciting her Rosary.

Religion as the Target

Dear Editor: Re: “Bishops See Document as Attack on Religion in U.S.,” the wording of this document is, sadly, not surprising.

Likes Contemporary Music

Dear Editor: I find it hard to believe that anyone could oppose the beautiful contemporary liturgical and Scripturally-based music of wonderful composers like Dan Schutte, John Foley, Marty Haugen, David Haas, and Scott Soper as “pig-slop music” (Readers’ Forum, Oct. 1) and to want to remove this inspiring liturgical music from our liturgy!

Timeless Gregorian Chant

Dear Editor: I disagree with opinions expressed (Readers’ Forum, Oct. 22) concerning the use of so-called contemporary music in the Catholic Mass.
