Readers Speak Out: Trump bashing, shifting values, the Church is not mean (January 3, 2019)
Trump bashers
What is happening to The Catholic Register? It used to report about Catholic Canadian values. Now it consistently bashes Donald Trump. Trump is not perfect, but which politician is? However, he is pro-life. Because of his pro-life belief, the tide may be turning in the United States. Millions of children can be saved.

Ban the nukes
Re: Churches want action on nuclear treaty (Jan. 27):

Re: Persecution hits close to home (Jan. 13):

Lack of respect
Re: Van Hee launches a constitutional challenge of bubble zone law (Dec. 2):
Thank you for the good coverage of pro-life hero Fr. Tony Van Hee.
The undemocratic bubble-zone law, in effect forbidding helpful outreach to pregnant women seeking an abortion, really needs to be challenged. But I have one question about the headline in The Register, in reference to Fr. Tony Van Hee as simply “Van Hee.” This sounds cold and disrespectful.
I am aware it is standard practice in the media to refer to people in headlines by only their surnames, and not their titles. But might not this lack of respect also tie into society’s disrespect of human life, and even God Himself? Just musing.
