Letter to the Editor
I am responding to the article in the February 25 issue “Socialism and private property”.
I believe this is incorrect and misleading information.
What is described in the article is actually Communism.

Is your cup half empty or half full?
It has often been said that we, as a people, fall into two categories: Pessimists or optimists. Some of us look upon our world and what is happening to it as pessimists and some take an optimistic view of things as they exist.
If you are of the former, you may see things about you as being like a cup that is half empty; if you are of the latter, you see things like a cup that is half full.
A pessimist is likely to see the world as going to hell in a handcart.Letter to the editor 2-4-2021
A Godless Nation
“If you don’t behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.” — Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
In my humble mind of seeing how the citizens of the United States are on “the slippery slope” of not believing in God and thus they believe in “nothing”.
The fatal decision by the United States Supreme Court on June 25, 1962, which declared school-sponsored prayers unconstitutional in the landmark case of Engel v. Vitale.Letter to the editor 1-14-2021
Thoughts on religious freedom and inalienable rights
We have survived 2020 and made it into 2021. What a year this has been!
Who would have thought that COVID-19 would alter our lives here, in our country, and throughout the world.What I want for Christmas

Dear Santa,
For Christmas, I would like:
A case of Caffeine-Free Pepsi, a package of bacon, an Amazon gift card, and some Babcock Hall cookies ‘n’ cream ice cream.
I’d also like the energy, ambition, and desire to pray more. I want the habit of opening my Bible more and embracing God’s word. I want to make Holy Mass a centerpiece of my life and feel like every time I am going up for Communion that it’s the most important thing I’m doing that day.
I want an increase in discipleship and evangelization. I want Catholics to know and live their faith so well that leading others to Christ is a natural and normal occurrence.

Promoting unity in the Church
Dear Mr. Wondrash, I write to urge you to do what you can as editor of the Catholic Herald to promote unity in the Catholic Church in our diocese.
In recent weeks, when reading the editorial page of the Catholic Herald, I feel accusations coming through the letters people have submitted.
I give Catholics who voted for Trump or for Biden the benefit of the doubt that they did not vote for abortion rights and that they felt they had (grave) reasons consistent with their faith to vote for the presidential candidate they did.

Understanding the meaning of ‘pre-eminent’
Editor Kevin Wondrash commented in last week’s editorial, that he received a plethora of letters to the editor from those who do not agree with the use of the word pre-eminent in regards to abortion.
Hopefully the logic in following quote from St. John Paul II can help them understand why abortion is the pre-eminent Catholic concern:
“Above all, the common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights — for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture — is false and illusory if the right to life, the most basic and fundamental right and the condition for all other personal rights, is not defended with maximum determination.”Letter to the editor (11-5-2020)
Asking the saints to help us
While praying Sunday for the 60,000 Americans who got ill from COVID-19 and the 339 who died I came to a realization.
We live in a time of many saints.
Some 1,320 U.S. health care workers have died while helping COVID patients deal with the disease, according to Kaiser Health News.
