Andrew cuomo has questions to answer and reasoning to provide as he decides whether to sign into law legislation amending ny pml sec 109. The amendment leaves an uncostitutional law unconstitutional.
The law also remains vague, indefinite and overly broad. The otbs of new York, public benefit corporations, cannot continue to close on roman catholic Easter Sunday, the easter sunday of pope francis in preference to the Easter Sunday of the Greek orthodox church, the Easter sunday of his all holiness bartholomew 1. Ny const art 1,sec 3 prohibits the state from expressing its religious preference. Deleting [ palm sunday] from ny pml sec 109 leaves the statute vague, indefinite, overly broad and unconstitutional. The statute also includes December 25, the only Christian holiday, that is a federal holiday. On this day you can buy and cash ny state lottery tickets except at the otbs. On this day you can play the slot machines in new York. The people of new York should be free to choose whether to work, bet and or pray on any day of the year. Andrew cuomo must provide a reasoned explanation to new York as he signs or vetoes an amendment to ny pml sec 109, a law that should not be a ny law.

This page has some issues
The Eastern Orthodox Church,[1] officially the Orthodox Catholic Church,[2] also referred to as the Orthodox Church and Orthodoxy,[3] is the second largest Christian church in the world and the third largest branch of Christianity, after Catholicism and Protestantism,[4] with an estimated 225–300 million adherents.[5] Distinct from other groups of churches that call themselves Orthodox, it is nevertheless the largest, and tends to be the one identified most often with the single term "Orthodox".
The Orthodox Church is one of the oldest religious institutions in the world,[6] and has played a prominent role in European and Near Eastern culture. It spread throughout the Roman and later Eastern Roman Empires.[7] It teaches that it is the continuation of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church established by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission to the apostles.[8] It practices what it understands to be the original faith passed down from the Apostles (Holy Tradition).
Most members live in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East, but from its roots in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Eastern Orthodox Church has grown into a global religion, with churches in most countries and major cities. Its adherents are a majority in Belarus, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania,Russia, Serbia and Ukraine; significant minority populations exist in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kazakhstan, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and Istanbul(Constantinople), the historic seat of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.[note 1]Church liturgies are conducted in different languages, including the original Koine Greek of the New Testament in the Greek Orthodox Church,[10] and Church Slavonic.
