What Exactly Is Normal To The Buffalo Diocese?

To The Reader’s Forum: As a lifelong member of Saints Peter &; Paul Parish and then later merging with St. John’s RC Church to become what is now Holy Apostles Parish, I felt it necessary to respond to some of the content in the article in The Post-Journal dated March 8 that was shared with us from Joe Martone, communications director for the Diocese. For the word “normal” to be used in any sentence that pertains to any actions by this Diocese in the past two years is anything but normal. Is it normal for a bishop to announce on one sunny afternoon to all Catholics in WNY ...

The American Voice Has Been Silenced

To the Reader’s Forum:: I fully support the silencing of the Voice of America and the forceful takeover by DOGE of the Institute of Peace. The VOA was established in 1942 as an anti-propaganda tool against Nazi misinformation. During the Cold War, its operations expanded in an effort to fight communism, and it played a role in the decline of communism in several countries. Throughout its operations, it has aimed to broadcast uncensored information to residents under restrictive regimes. The United States Institute of Peace was established by Congress as an American independent, ...

Encourage Representatives To Save Medicaid

To The Reader’s Forum: In our county there are people we see or know whose budget is stretched tight. Maybe they’ve lost their job because of an injury, a chronic illness, they’re pregnant, or disabled, they are children. They have been able to keep going because they have Medicaid. Our House of Representatives just passed a bill instructing the House Energy and Commerce Committee to cut -over 10 years- at least $880 Billion dollars in costs. Recent proposals from the House Budget committee have taken these cuts from Medicaid AND the Children’s Health Insurance Plan ...

Bravo To JHS Performance Of Les Miserables

To The Reader’s Forum: Les Miserables opening night was a huge success. Jamestown can certainly exhibit student talent with this play as there are so many roles, dance steps, and costumes to address. The roles were filled very nicely and were matched equally as well with the many dancing embellishments. All of the performers were excellent. The musicians also contributed greatly to the overall picture and certainly deserved their share of the compliments especially for the endurance they exhibited. That was a lot of music! Bravo to all it was a very successful production dripping ...

Listen To God’s Executive Orders, Not The President’s

To The Reader’s Forum: The Rev. Benjamin Cremer is the author of this quote. “I have been getting a lot of questions about how to respond to the concept of [how the government should be] helping the poor theologically as a Christian. But for now, I want to just simply say nowhere in the Bible does it say that those who follow Jesus should stop the government from helping the poor and the needy. That is libertarianism and a rugged individualism, not the teachings of Jesus. To be anti-poor is to be Anti-Christ. To be anti-sick people getting health care is to be Anti-Christ. ...

Do More To Increase Safety In The City

To The Reader’s Forum: I know many residents like myself are fellow business owners in Jamestown and we are all in agreement that the state of public safety in our city is not good. I am also a homeowner downtown. Living in the city has changed tremendously. Whether I am walking to my car, or leaving work I am overly cautious because of the constant chaos around us. If you were to conduct a canvass or survey of businesses in the city I am confident that the number one issue would be crime. Now more than ever, city businesses are relying on visitors from outside the city to ...
