Dear Editor: Mario Cuomo, despite his immigrant parent upbringing in Queens and his overwhelming education at Catholic schools and then St. John’s University and St. John’s Law School, where his pictures are hung on every available wall, he chose the Ultra-Liberal Democratic Party above his religious directives.
I, by all means, cannot sit in judgment of the former governor but when he meets his Lord and Master, he will know if his and the decisions of his beloved son, Andrew, were either too far to the left but not enough true to their beloved Catholic Church.
