23-Jun-06. The bishop’s principled stand. Calgary Herald, A28.
This editorial discusses Calgary bishop Fred Henry’s warning to the Calgary Catholic school board to stop raising funds through casino and bingo nights. The author notes that, though the estimated $2-million in revenue from the fundraisers is useful, it is morally at odds with the teachings of the church. The bishop is also urged to provide leadership in suggesting a creative solution to the cash shortfall that bedevils the Catholic board.
