Poster comments on site are succinct and to the point. One person wrote: ""Bishop" Hubbard was a devil in a miter, who presided over and encouraged every manner of heresy, blasphemy in that archdiocese."

Ping!

He’s religiously praising a monster who spoke out of both sides of his mouth regarding the ruthless and disgusting slaughter of 3,300 unborn and newly born American babies.

They shouldn’t even allow his coffin to get anywhere near a Catholic Church. Disgusting!

” he personally opposed abortion while asserting that the government should not legislate against a woman’s right to choose.”

This has always been one of the most twisted , illogical and cowardly statements I’ve ever heard. No courage of personal convictions there !!

Doesn’t seem to be such a great leader to me

[Larry381]

There was the great quote by someone who when asked to describe Cuomo's good points looked blankly at the questioner and blurted out-"he always had a question for every answer."
Or at one of the Democrat conventions one of his yes men was asked by a reporter what Cuomo had accomplished for New York State-he remained silent while he thought a while and then said "have you seen the new restrooms on the [NY] Thruway? They're amazing."
I can almost picture the great Bob Grant meeting him in the afterlife with a hearty "how you doin' Sfacheme?"

I, for one, am glad to be rid of that POS named Andrew Cuomo.

[Terry L Smith]

I lived in Cuomo’s NY. His son continues, as obama continues, for the nation.

If Rome had any real ethics or belief in the doctrine they claim mario would have been excommunicated...no RC burial.. and that goes for the son as well

[Gerish]

Mario Cuomo didn’t care about the people of NYS since he practically ruined it. Andrew is now finishing the job. Both Cuomo’s have only served one Master - themselves. Bishop Hubbard is a spineless coward and his “reflections” of Cuomo have no meaning to anyone. Just bury this pro-murder monster and pray that God have mercy on him.

“he personally opposed abortion while asserting that the government should not legislate against a woman’s right to choose”.

Abortion Ken Cuomo needs to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is IMPOSSIBLE to claim you are personally opposed to abortion and at the same time do nothing to stop abortion in the public arena. He aided and abeded the murder of untold thousands of children before he was governor of NY, while he was governor, and after he was governor. He was an monster of the first degree.

Howard Hubbard is one of the few notorious (as opposed to suspected) homosexuals in the American hierarchy. He never gave the pro-life movement anything but the back of his hand. Or maybe a middle finger.

Hubbard has to know that this “great person” he is praising ordered a fellow bishop, Austin Vaughan, beaten up in the Albany jail. While Hubbard was Bishop of Albany.

He ruthlessly eliminated heterosexuals from his seminary program.

He “opposes” abortion. Riiiight.

He was something like 36 when he was appointed bishop. He may be the last Jadot bishop to retire.

(Archbishop Jean Jadot was Apostolic Delegate to the U.S. during the reign of Paul VI. He systematically selected Communist homosexual Satanists, who have been known for decades as the “Jadot bishops.”)

he was a great person and a great political leader,” Hubbard said.

So was Herod and he is mentioned in the Gospel reading on January 6th, the day of the funeral.
