Athletic Fields Catholics
In this Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2009 photo members of the St. Raphael Academy high school football team depart the Dennis M. O'Brien Memorial Field in Pawtucket, R.I. following a team practice. A fight over athletic fields in this city goes well beyond who gets to play soccer where, and is raising thorny questions about separation of church and state and public aid to religious institutions _ divisive issues that have flared repeatedly in heavily Catholic Rhode Island.
