Public needs to be aware of good Catholic servants

As a Catholic Christian who loves his faith, it was refreshing to read two articles in the April 10 Citizen, especially guest columnist the Rev. Roger Landry, that supported the Catholic clergy who have devoted their lives to the church, their parishioners, and most importantly, to God.

I attend Holy Trinity Catholic Church where we have three priests who work tirelessly, day and night, 24-7. These are the men that represent our church and our Catholic faith. These are solid Christian men who have dedicated their lives to serving the Lord and deserve nothing less than our support and prayers.

As the Rev. Landry stated in his article, we could have focused on Judas in his betrayal of Jesus, but instead we focused on the other 11 who went out to turn the Roman Empire upside down. Just as Judas, those priests who betrayed their vows will be dealt with by God.

Thank you for publishing the comments of the Rev. Landry and Bob Wolden. The public needs to be aware of all the good the Catholic Church represents.
