Letters to the Editor

One of the advantages of old age is the benefit of having lived through a lot of history unknown or ignored by younger generations.

We want to commend John Killacky for his letter [/opinion/letters/item/35623-letter-to-the-editor-failing-the-faith] in the June 11 edition of The Catholic Register “Failing the Faith.” I am certain he echoes the words of many Catholics who are striving to live our faith and transmit it to others.

The Catholic Register’s writers have mixed records for stories demonstrating true love for the Catholic Church. So, I approached with trepidation the recent cover story about Catholic school boards debating flying Pride flags.

Effective balance

Ontario’s effective referral policy that Quinton Amundson refers to in “Euthanasia document authors’ biases questioned” was upheld by the Court of Appeal because it was found to serve the important social and public benefit of ensuring equitable access to health care. 

Facing facts

Michael Swan’s article “Children’s aid faces up to race issues” on catholicregister.org, and printed in the April 9 issue, outlines the Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto’s (CCAS) addressing racism within the child welfare, education and justice systems. It is important to note that our Journey Toward Equity is ongoing, and one we take seriously at CCAS.

Hope springs

I wonder if there will be an editorial entitled “Hope for 2023?” 

Losing Lewis

I found myself muttering “too bad” when Charles Lewis noted he is retiring from The Catholic Register. 

Undermining Congo

Your Dec. 2 article on catholicregister.org “Canadians can make a difference in Congo” makes Canadians aware of the plight of communities affected by mining operations, some by Canadian companies, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Martyrs’ blood

Michael Swan’s “Red Wednesday” story in the Nov. 27 issue explains that persecution of Christians happens all over the world. 

COP27 valuable

I appreciate The Catholic Register reporting on my impressions of COP27. The Register’s Nov. 27 editorial, “COP27’s Failure,” made me want to expand.
