A reference to the Charleston Eight in your Sept. 3 editorial would have satisfied me to know that the editor of our Catholic paper realizes that all lives matter. I reread the article, lest I had missed the reference. I found it lacking, and so I write to express my notice of this lack.
Best wishes to you and your staff.
