This bit of news from Bloomberg caught my eye:
Philanthropist and retired hedge-fund manager Robert W. Wilson said he is giving $22.5 million to the Archdiocese of New York to fund a scholarship program for needy inner-city students attending Roman Catholic schools.
Wilson, 80, said in a phone interview today that although he is an atheist, he has no problem donating money to a fund linked to Catholic schools.
"Let's face it, without the Roman Catholic Church, there would be no Western civilization.''
Now there's a quote.
