For the most part, Mafiosi appear to be diehard,
Bible-thumping Catholics.
In a contest
to see which’d give them bigger knee-shaking night sweats, my suspicion is the
wrath of God would beat out the wrath of their Godfather every time.
So when Pope Francis excommunicated the Mafia today – an act
which, if I’m not mistaken, automatically plops the whole kit ‘n kaboodle on a
fast track to Hell – most Mafiosi sat up and took notice.
Now the question is:
Will Mafiosi drop out of the Mafia like flies off a Raid-sprayed
cake? Or will most finally declare Hell
merely a FigNewton of the human imagination?
Stay tuned, children, for the next episode in this thrilling
reality-show drama!
In the meantime, I’m naming this Pope the best and
bravest in the long, somewhat tarnished history of Popedom!
