Mario Cuomo, who died on January 1, 2015, maintained "an extensive, friendly, always civil although not always harmonious relationship with Commonweal," as Peter Steinfels put it. These characteristics are evidenced by the articles, letters, and interviews from the former governor that Commonweal published, as well as in the responses by the editors to Cuomo's political statements on such topics as abortion and poverty. Below we have gathered some of the items by and about Mario Cuomo that have appeared in Commonweal over the years, including columns and reflections written just after his passing.
