The Catholic Archdiocese of New York is piling on Gov. Cuomo, who earned the ire of hate groups by declaring that opposition to civil rights is “anti-American.” From their blog: I have been warning for some time about the intolerance that we are likely to face from the forces of “tolerance” who backed the bill legalizing same-sex “marriage” here in …
