October 3, 1997 Philadelphia Daily News PO Box 7788 Phila., PA 19101 Dear Editors: Thank you for your prominent coverage of the Catholic bishops' comments about gay children. While the statement did not break any new theological ground, it stated their position eloquently. More importantly, the point that our love for each other is more important than our differences of opinion is one which cannot bear too much repeating.
