The Reverend Patrick Dunne, pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in White Plains, New York, was sent to rehab by his bishop because he was cashing church checks in order to fuel his “gambling addiction.” In White Plains, you’re about equally distant from Foxwoods Casino, largest per-square-foot casino in the country, although many people prefer the nearby Mohegan Sun, in the north, and Atlantic City, with eleven major casinos, in the south, plus you’re in easy striking distance of all the best thoroughbred tracks on the east coast, including Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga Springs, some of the most historic harness tracks in the nation in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and Monticello, New York, and then you’ve got your jai alai frontons and your greyhound tracks in Rhode Island if you’re in the mood, so “gambling addiction” could mean anything and we fail to see how investing the church’s money should suddenly become some kind of a sin. Now sports betting, that’s illegal in all states except Nevada, so if they caught him doing that, then shame on the padre.
