Although in your recent State of the State address you cited your Catholic faith and said we should "Stand with Pope Francis", your advocacy of extreme abortion legislation is completely contrary to the teachings of our Pope and our Church

Beautiful.

About time the Bishops start to speak up and not only defend the faith, but call out the hypocrites.

Status Cuomo is an arrogant jerk. He (and NYC’s DeBlasio) are going to run the state into the ground.

...your advocacy of extreme abortion legislation is completely contrary to the teachings of our Pope and our Church...had to chuckle watching 1958's "The Last Hurrah" on TCM tonight - Spencer Tracy playing the mayor of a "big Massachusetts city" (clearly Boston) is eyeing up his opposition for reelection - of one man he says "yeah, like a guy who supports Planned Parenthood is going to get any votes in this town" - times sure change.....

Did Albany get a good Bishop after all the years of Hubbard?

Cuomo is one of the most vile humans I have ever had the displeasure to see on TV. Excommunication is a no-brainer BUT will any Catholic official have the cajones to do it? I doubt it.

I love his last line: Do not build this death star.

“...Cuomo is one of the most vile humnas...”

He and Nancy Pelosi are tied neck and neck in the race to the bottom for the most vile “Catholic” award.

This open letter is a good start by the Bishop - Hubbard would NOT have written such a letter, however Cuomo needs to be denied communion in the Bishop’s Diocese (Albany) and this needs to be announced.

Cuomo is too arrogant to actually live in Albany, so I don’t know his Diocese, however the Bishop could still declare that he is not eligible for communion.

Cuomo is a vile reprobate,

I had heard a second hand report that he had recently stated that abortion should be legal even up until birth? Is this what the Bishop is writing about? Incredible if true!

Even knowing how evil this man is, I find it hard to believe he would state this openly,

Cuomo did state that he wants abortion to be legal up to the moment of birth. In other words, he is promoting infanticide which is abortion carried to its logical endpoint.

It was inspiring. It should be sent as a template to all the other Bishops in the world.
