Because, as it says in the Bible "love thy neighbor" ... "unless they don't believe what you do and/or are willing to openly practice the same religion as you on a regular basis in the house of worship of your choosing"

A question for Father Travassos, if the Coach were attending mass at some other church, but still worshiping god on a regular basis would you still deny him use of "your" basketball court. Or, what if the coach were agnostic or jewish, but was still someone who wanted to make sure the children had a good wholesome upbringing and to better themselves, would the children then still be unworthy of using "your" facilities ?

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
