Dear Editor: Paul Markowski (June 17) seems to assume a privilege to repeat demagogic characterizations of President Trump simply because these are popularly taken for granted.
President Donald Trump
Not a Fan of President
Dear Editor: It was written regarding President Trump’s visit to the Vatican “many in the media chose to use it as another opportunity to slam the President.”
Relief in Sight on HHS Mandate
A leaked draft rule from the Department of Health and Human Services exempting religious groups from the contraceptive mandate of the Affordable Care Act was welcomed by church officials and attorneys representing the Little Sisters of the Poor, one group that challenged the mandate at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump and Francis
President Donald J. Trump’s audience at the Vatican with Pope Francis was the first meeting between the two men. Speculation was wild about what would occur at this meeting? Contrary to some reports, it was not tense. It was simply another visit of a head of state to the Vatican.
Pope-Trump Meeting Furthers US-Vatican Collaboration
Pope Francis and U.S. President Donald Trump spent 30 minutes speaking privately in the library of the Apostolic Palace May 24, and as the president left, he told the pope, “I won’t forget what you said.”
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. Wade. He emphasized that “we must confront the face of evil,” “never shrink from telling the truth,” and should “emphasize dignity of human life.”
Trump Orders Free Religious Expression
Many religious leaders viewed President Donald Trump’s executive order on religious freedom, which he signed in a White House Rose Garden ceremony May 4, as a step in the right direction.
Pope Seeks Diplomatic Solution to North Korea
A diplomatic solution must be found to the escalating tension between North Korea and the United States, Pope Francis told journalists.
Hope for the Future
Dear Editor: Your editorial, “Trump’s Choice” (March 11), underscores at least a symbolic victory as a result of last November’s presidential election. If the President’s opponent had won, do you think religious schools would have received the encouraging comments from the President and the Secretary of Education and the promise of some assistance for our religious schools?
Trump Steers Funding Away From PP’s Abortion Clinics
