I agree with the March 15 letter by Sean O’Meara entitled “News item omitted information” regarding the infanticide bill in Congress.
It was a terrible tragedy that Congress failed to pass this legislation, but I understand that there were three Democratic senators who voted with the Republicans: Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Senator Doug Jones of Alabama. Give these gentlemen credit for voting the right way on this, and condemn the rest of them.

The photo and headline of the March 1, 2019, edition of the Catholic News Herald was both encouraging and several decades late for many young Catholic boys and girls.
Where was the leadership for all those years? How do we expect our Catholic family to “turn the other cheek” after so many countless failures of the perpetrators and their leaders?
The lack of oversight of the actions of those who were accountable to the bishops and other hierarchy may be accountable not only to God, but to our civil courts of justice.
As a community of Catholic hierarchy and lay persons, we need to pray unceasingly for Pope Francis and his delegates to have the courage, understanding and objective decisions to help eradicate, or at least minimize, these acts of abuse.
Theirs is a tremendous task. Pray for their divine guidance.
