Sicilian Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe of Naples, Italy cracks down:

"No funerals for Mafia leaders."



Snippet from The Catholic World Report, July 2011.

"Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe of Naples has announced that prominent Mafia leaders will no longer be allowed Catholic funerals if there is no evidence of their repentance.

"[T] cardinal told reporters, If Mafiosi were repentant it would be a different story; but as this is not the case, they cannot be godfathers, or witnesses to a marriage, or have a funeral in church ...."

Way to go!! :)
