Cuomo Meets with Bishops on Catholic Schools

[Abyssinia]

Archbishop Timothy Dolan emerged from a private lunch Tuesday with Gov. Andrew Cuomo with quips, quick feet to dance around tough political questions and a pledge to take a new look at the role of Catholic schools.

Dolan wouldn’t discuss with reporters any private discussions he may have had about the recent ruckus sparked by a Detroit-based lawyer for the Vatican’s high court. The lawyer-blogger had criticized Cuomo for living with his girlfriend, food TV star Sandra Lee.

From the article:

The New York archbishop says few specifics were discussed with Cuomo.
But he says the governor, who grew up Catholic, is interested in helping Catholic schools flourish because they are cost effective.

Cuomo proposes deep cuts to nonpublic schools in his budget.

I wasn’t aware that the state of NY has been providing financial support to private (including religious) schools to begin with.
