Catholic League: Pope\’s Legacy is Secure

\"English:English: Pope Benedict XVI (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

February 11, 2013

Bill Donohue offers seven good reasons why the pope’s legacy is secure:

 

  • Religion for Pope Benedict XVI is as much a public issue as it is a private one. In 2008, he warned American bishops against \”the subtle influence of secularism,\” holding that \”any tendency to treat religion as a private matter must be resisted.\”
  • The pope made it clear that religious freedom was not only a God-given right, it was \”the path to peace.\”
  • He knew religion could be abused, leading even to violence. His much misunderstood 2006 Regensburg University lecture was really about the uncoupling of religion from reason (reason not united to faith also leads to violence).
  • The pope reached out to dissidents on the right and the left, seeking to bring them to communion. Not all his efforts succeeded, but his attempts were noble.

Playing Favorites: Off-track wager site will pay off in Gloucester Township | courierpostonline.com

Every Friday, retired buddies Mario Chiodi and Joe Boulden visit Favorites at Vineland, an off-track wagering parlor.

This summer the pair will have a betting facility much closer to home when a new wagering site gallops into Camden County.

Penn National Gaming Inc., of Wyomissing, Pa., recently signed a lease with the owners of the building that formerly housed the Stone Grille eatery in Gloucester Township. Penn plans to open the betting facility by Labor Day.

The 15,000-square-foot building, with its existing bar, kitchen and dining areas, made the acquisition a good bet for Penn, said Chris McErlean, the company’s vice president\"\" for racing.

\”We’ll be doing some renovations, but there won’t be a whole lot of physical changes to the building,\” McErlean said of the site, at 1300 Blackwood-Clementon Road. The OTW will be called Favorites at Gloucester Township.

\”We’re looking to change the model (for OTWs) in Gloucester Township, making it more of a turnkey location instead of starting from scratch or totally remodeling an entire facility. This will be a lower investment level and we’ll be able to have a quicker turnaround.\”
