“The Governor of NY has forgotten he is the highest representative of all the people of NYS, not just the one’s he agrees with….Religious freedom is a fundamental right of all New Yorkers and that elected officials, especially elected Catholics can’t pick and choose what part of the Catholic Faith they choose to adhere to.”

the loss of religious freedom with Governor Cuomo
NEW YORK (CNS) – In what might signal a fundamental political shift towards more traditional values in New York State, a demonstration was held in New York City calling for a redress of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s public policies many of which are perceived as perniciously attacking Catholic values.
Cathy Sapeta, President of New Yorkers United For Kids, was one of the planned speakers at yesterday’s press conference on the steps of Queens County Borough Hall. She spoke about the effect of so-called “Common Core” curriculum, a hallmark of the Democratic governor’s educational restructuring, on Catholic Education:
“Common Core is about work force development – meeting a minimum standard,” said Sapeta. “A Catholic education has always aimed at challenging a child to meet their potential and to discover their vocation as children of God.”
