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.
letters to the editor
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.

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

Challenge to the Church
Dear Editor: We now know from Hillary Clinton’s emails that high-ranking liberal Catholics in the Democratic Party (many formerly worked at the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops) created a group called Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good in order to infiltrate the Catholic Church and cause a “revolution” or “Catholic Spring.”
Thinking of Aquinas
Dear Editor: Where art thou Sts.Thomas Aquinas and Thomas More? Thomases, did you ever think that hundreds of years after your deaths that you would be mocked in conversation among presidential campaign staffers of Ms. Clinton?
Rosary Guides Voters
Dear Editor: The November election is fast moving and will be here shortly. Our world, our Church, our country and our dignity as a person are under attack by the forces of Satan and his minions
