GRAPEVINE, Page 17Charity Does Not Begin at Church
By JANICE CASTRO
The Roman Catholic archdiocese in Turin, Italy, has
stirred up a fuss by printing signs for all its churches in an
effort to drive away beggars. Printed in Italian as well as
Arabic -- the language of many of the city's poor -- the signs
read, in part: We don't want to buy useless, superfluous goods,
or see you begging. Explains Father Gianni Sangalli: "Every
Sunday large crowds of immigrants gather at the doorstep of many
churches in Turin asking for charity or peddling useless
objects."
