	Heaton Moor Rugby Union Football Club
		A tough away fixture against a St. Benedict's side that had recently pulled out some impressive results was not really what the doctor ordered as Moor were keen to build upon the previous week's victory.
		Heaton Moor is a club with drive and ambition - we are re-developing the club beyond recognition and look forward to meeting like-minded people and players to take us one further rung up the ladder.
		Yet again, Moor worked hard to dominate territory and possession but can't seem to squeeze out the points.

		There is another Saint Benedict, a well-known Saint called Saint Benedict the Black (il moro santo, the holy Moor).
		Some say that this prediction of St. Malachy, “From the Glory of the Olive,” refers to the Order of St. Benedict, because they have a well-known group within their order called the 'Olivetans.' There is some merit to this idea.

	CNS STORY: Pope drops papal crown from coat of arms, adds miter, pallium
		Nestled on top of the keys lies the unique shield of Pope Benedict, which is based on his coat of arms as archbishop of Munich and Freising, Germany, and is particularly rich in personal and spiritual symbolism, wrote Archbishop Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo.
		"Benedict XVI has chosen a coat of arms that is rich in symbolism and meaning, so as to put his personality and his papacy in the hands of history," said Italian Archbishop Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo, an expert on heraldry and creator of Benedict XVI's new insignia.
		The upper left-hand section of the shield depicts a brown-faced Moor with red lips, crown and collar; it is a symbol of the former Diocese of Freising dating back to the eighth century.
