Dear Editor: In response to Peter Farley’s question (July 16) as to what happened to The Mystery of Faith acclamation: “Christ Has Died, Christ Has Risen, Christ Will Come Again,” one simple reason why it is no longer used is because it is written grammatically in the third person.
letters to the editor
One Nation Under God
Dear Editor: I guess I am among the ranks of elitists that George Weigel was describing in his column (June 25).
Teen’s Family Grateful
Dear Editor: I want to thank Maria-Pia Negro Chin for the great article “Queens Teen Has Heart Set on a Medical Career” (April 23) on Gregory Nelson.
Get Smart About Opioids
Dear Editor: In response to Joe Heller’s cartoon about opioids (April 23), kudos!
Politics Becoming a Circus
Dear Editor: I was appalled to see that the reaction of the Senate Majority Leader to the recent passing of Chief Justice Scalia was to issue a warning to the president not to bother nominating a candidate, as it would be ignored.

The Irish Know Genocide
Dear Editor: In response to George Weigel’s article (Feb. 20) “Isis, Genocide…” If one should ever go across the sea to Ireland and stand on the shore of Galway Bay, on a clear day one can see more than the sun going down.

Act Against the Violence
Dear Editor: I commend The Tablet for its Dec. 12 editorial, “End the Violence.” Yes, we must pray, but as advocates, we also must act. Mass murder seems to occur in America every other week. Its frequency is frightening. Can anything be done? To quote from your editorial, “We recognize the Second Amendment right to […]
Politics
Dear Editor: George Weigel’s column (Nov. 7, “The Speaker and Social Doctrine”) in seeking to show his political preference for Paul Ryan and Republican Party economic and social policies, does a major disservice in misrepresenting Catholic social teaching.
Living the Gospel Message
Dear Editor: I would like to thank Rita M. Murphy for those most kind words (Readers’ Forum, Sept. 26) to my letter to The Tablet (Sept. 9) concerning my experiences with homelessness. It is most heartwarming to hear from people like yourself with what you have done to help the homeless. I hope and pray […]
