Within a Sky Full of Earth

In gambling there are always more losers than winners. And directly opposite these temples to Mammon, the god of greed, is this once quiet little church, built in 1835. With only months till opening of the new casinos, Father Luis Xavier is worried about the impact on society. He's already inundated with gambling addicts.

FATHER LUIS XAVIER: Imagine that every day, every morning, people come, "You, father, can you lend me 500 patacas "because I lost my money, I don't have money to get to Hong Kong."

REPORTER: That happened?

FATHER LUIS XAVIER: This happens very frequently. We cannot afford to meet all these requests.
