Missing link
Sr. Helena Burns foments the old Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory that the Freemasons were behind the French Revolution and Karl Marx’s writings in her May 26 column (“Christ’s face defeats anti-God Communists”).
Hand it out, they will come
Regarding The Catholic Register’s May 25 news story and editorial on drug decriminalization, a key concept in the field of substance-related public policy is availability, which refers to the overall ease with which a given substance can be obtained.
Holy Land bias
I was disappointed with the Register’s April 21 front page and page 5 article. It was a one-sided view of a very complicated situation.
Greater good
When I read Quinton Amundson’s April 28 article “St. John’s closures ‘canonically unsound,’ ” I couldn’t help thinking that it reveals another instance of the Church trying to evade its responsibilities to victims of sexual abuse.
Missing God’s Word
I have very much missed the God’s Word on Sunday column by Fr. Scott Lewis the last three weeks. I hope his column will soon return. Over many years my husband and I have looked forward to reading it every week before attending Sunday Mass.

Delete ‘barbarians’
I was shocked by the headline on the April 21 issue of The Catholic Register.
MAiD money
As Alex Schadenberg points out in his April 28 Verbatim article, the commitment of the federal government to State-sponsored killing has gained astonishing momentum. Though promoted as mercy, the program looks more like an economically motivated cull. No doubt Canadians who are alive are more expensive than Canadians who are dead.

Hellish cold
It was an overcast sky and I despaired of any sighting when the miracle occurred.
Glowing recommendation
I enjoy reading The Catholic Register website and write to share with your readers a great Catholic program of reflection, inspiration, music and meditation on a Catholic radio station here in Connecticut.
Cash registered
Quinton Amundson’s recent cover story “Cash no longer king” made for essential reading. The driver seems a mix of technophilia, fear and alienation turbo-charged during the pandemic.
