Terrible deaths for children raise questions

I read with tears and outrage about the latest deaths for children due to abuse of parents and partners (friends).

It is too hideous to think about what these innocent children have endured until death.

I am not sure whether the public is aware of the guidelines and procedures of Franklin County's children's services in terms of children in lifelong circumstances that remain in abusive situations.

The shipping has carried out a number of outstanding studies on social problems. Could we get a better understanding of how these unspeakable tragedies appear despite the participation of Franklin County Children Services?

What do you think about and wish for Pope Leo?

The Catholic Church has a new Pope and comes from the United States of America.

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, born from Chicago, was selected by 133 cardinals from all over the world at a time when the anti -American feelings are in a high proportion.

He is the first American to take on the role and will take the name Leo XIV.

What do you think will mean the new Pope America? Let us know in a letter to the publisher who was sent to letters@dispatch.com by e -mail.

Tax cuts and “Game of Thrones”

In the “Game of Thrones” series, the character Tyrion tells the three slave residents that one of them has to die.

The slave champions have just seen their fortune defeated their wealth from victory to defeat through Daenerys and their dragons. Tyrion delivers the line: “It always seems a bit abstract, isn't it, other people die?”

While we observe how the Republicans are kept in congress to extend the Trump tax cuts that benefit the rich, they do not seem to understand the very real consequences of the reduction of Medicaid in order to pay for these tax cuts.

Cutting medicaid means that people will die.

Some will die in unnecessary pain. Others are neglected or die much too early.

Even the apparently popular work requirements will harm people who cannot find any work due to disabilities or other challenges. It makes no sense to impose work requirements if employers cannot hire these people or not.

The solution is simple: we cannot afford to extend the Trump tax reductions, especially for the wealthiest, through slashing medicaid.

In addition to the increase in public debt by 4.5 trillion dollars or more, tax cuts help little to help most Americans. Many still fight with high prices and carry the load of the tariffs from Trump era. It is not what he needs. In the event of a recession, countless Americans are dependent on Medicaid after they have lost their work and health insurance.

By reducing access to health care, people become sick – and yes, some will die in the consequences of the Republicans' measures in the congress.

Maybe you should answer the question: “It always seems a bit abstract, isn't it?”

I am a woman. I want a woman Pope.

Re “a woman will not be a pope, and that's okay for me”, 8 May by Ashley McGuire: While women are annoyed, women will be erase[d] … As a category “in the middle of the cultural war Du Jour, she omitted the fact that the patriarchal structure of the Catholic Church led to the sexual abuse of thousands of boys over decades.

Instead of uncovering the rampant pedophilia and preventing further rapes and sexual assaults by boys, those who were in power simply looked in the other direction.

While McGuire somehow “got to know a single Catholic woman … who expressed itself about the fact that the priesthood is only male”, I offer myself as an example of a Catholic woman who does not even exist.

While the Catholic women with whom she hits in a church basement every week could not share this frustration, I would bet that there are millions of us.
