Three letter writers opposing gay marriage in the April 13 issue of this newspaper referenced God and the Bible as marriage being between one man and one woman. (The letters were titled “God has no part in same-sex unions,” “The Bible does not endorse homosexual marriage,” and “Marriage established as one male, one female.”)

Local view: Society needs the Church in dark time

We Catholics have had a historical couple of months. Pope Benedict XVI resigned. A conclave took place. And we welcomed our new Holy Father, Pope Francis. With these events, the Church has been in the news quite a bit, and during this time I have noticed a consistent desire from many in the secular world, and in our Christian community.

Reader’s view: Secularists won’t accept the truth of Jesus

The March 12 commentary chastising a Duluth letter writer and fellow priest rendered me to think that one of the two writers is an apostle of Christ while the other is a secularist. The priest being criticized seems more than a mere Catholic priest; he seems an apostle of Christ. The apostle is relentless in his defense of the statutes of Christ. His epistles are the sounding trumpet that hopefully wakes up those who do not recognize the schemes of Satan and the danger looming over this nation.
