One of the dodges employed by Mario the Pious was that he was absolutely helpless. He was obliged by his oath of office to defend the Constitution. And he defined the Constitution as Supreme Court decisions.
The Church is now so feeble that Andrew Cuomo doesn’t even waste his time spinning the rationalizations that his father used to spin. Cardinal Dolan explicitly refused to say that Andrew, shacked up and pro-abortion, was not a “good Catholic.”
Is Cuomo even pretending be Catholic still? With this Pope he may actually be considered a good Catholic.
