Mafia Excommunicated

Well, if a mafia don walks up to the Pearly Gates and St Peter lets him in anyways, maybe he doesn't need to worry about St Mark and St Thomas having themselves a nasty fall.
 
Excommunication, which excludes Catholics from the church, can be imposed by church authorities or incurred automatically for certain grave offenses.

The Pope’s remarks will resonate strongly in this part of southern Italy, where the Mafia attempt to portray themselves as upstanding religious men in good rapport with the Catholic Church, in order to maintain local credibility.

So what about pedophile priests, murderers, adulterers, etc. If Frankie goes excomm on all the grave sinners out there who's gonna pay the bills?
 
Catholic Church Ex-Communicates Mafia
