Don’t publish letters promoting violence

On December 20, 2017
George Thompson

To the editor:

We are deeply saddened that you would publish a letter that promotes violence.

The person who recommends use of automatic weapons to “protect” our churches and schools should not be given access to readers of a Catholic publication dedicated to promoting a message of peace and respect. May Our Lord grant him the wisdom to understand peace and respect.

Did Our Lord promote violence? Carry a weapon?

Please bring the blessings of the holidays to your readers.

George Thompson, Beaver Dam
