(Crux) — In a letter to an anti-mafia task force, Pope Francis called on them to “free the figure of the Madonna from the influence of criminal organizations.”

“I learned with pleasure that this Pontifical Academy has promoted a conference to officially launch the Department of Analysis and Study of Criminal and Mafia Phenomena,” Pope Francis wrote in a letter sent to Father Stefano Cecchin, president of the Pontifical International Marian Academy.

“I wish to express my appreciation for the important initiative,” the pontiff wrote.

Father Cecchin will lead the department, which will include priests, police officials, anti-racketing and anti-usury experts.

Those guys are a strong bunch, so tight & well organized it’s crazy. I think they’re the strongest criminal group in Europe, and also dominate the drug market over there

They have connections with organized crime here in Brazil, sometimes news about this connection or the arrest of fugitive bosses on TV.

Rocco Morbito if I’m not mistaking right? How’d he even get away after being in prison & where would he run off to?

Thanks. There is an interesting comment about Chicago, too. "I know in Chicago, they don't make nobody." "Damn right. The whole mob I think is about fifty."

The Frank Selano who was mentioned is most likely Frank Celano, a member of Mike Miranda´s crew and later a skipper. And "Bananas" is most likely Charlie Coppolino, who was under Saro Mogavero.

It´s confusing to think that these guys would think Meyer Lansky was made.
