Mafia Planning to Kill Pope?
 

Pope Francis 'may be at risk from Italian mafia'


The Pope's efforts to tackle corruption within the Catholic Church could put him at risk from the Italian mafia, a leading prosecutor warns

" Pope Francis is at risk of mafia retribution as a result of his determination to clean up corruption and cronyism within the Catholic Church, one of Italy?s best known anti-mob prosecutors said.

Nicola Gratteri, who has lived under police protection for nearly 25 years, said the Jesuit Pope?s campaign to tackle graft was upsetting powerful crime organisations in Italy, which have in the past enjoyed a cosy relationship with the Catholic hierarchy.

?Those who have up until now profited from the power and wealth deriving from the Church are now nervous, agitated. The Pope is dismantling centres of economic power in the Vatican,? said Mr Gratteri, 55, who has spent his career fighting the ?Ndrangheta mafia of Calabria in the far south of Italy.

"I don't know if organised crime is in a position to do something, but certainly they are thinking about it. It could be dangerous. If the godfathers can trip him up, they would not hesitate to do so,? he told Il Fatto Quotidiano, an Italian daily.

The Church had often turned a blind eye to the activities of mafia groups like the ?Ndrangheta said Mr Gratteri, who earlier this year was appointed by Enrico Letta, the prime minister, to a national task force which was ordered to come up with new ways of combating organised crime.

?For years the mafia has laundered money and made investments, taking advantage of the connivance of the Church,? he said.

He gave a few examples, including ?a bishop of Reggio Calabria who refused to criticise a mafia godfather even after he was definitely convicted by the Supreme Court? and the daughter of a known mafia boss who was allowed to marry inside the city?s cathedral.

?She even got a papal blessing,? he said. ?And there are the priests who go to the homes of mafia leaders to drink coffee, giving them strength and legitimisation ... even as they continue to kill and to import cocaine.?

For all their brutality and disdain for the law, the vast majority of mafiosi regard themselves as Catholics.

?We did a survey of prisoners in jail and 88 per cent of mafia guys said they were religious. ?A gunman from the ?Ndrangheta will pray before killing someone.?

Jesuits are in on it. :winkwink: I went to a Jesuit run boarding school as a day student. Some of the boarders had a little Jesuit in them every night. Or so my classmates claimed.

yeah nobody ever exaggerated or made up stupid shit when i was in school either..

Ignore list updated.

did you know they have a military arm?

I am not surprised. They run the financials correct? They would be a prime suspect if anyone is going after the pope. Of course mafia is always prime suspect too I expect.

Tampa school gets another sexual abuse suit

I know one or two of the boys tried to drown themselves while I attended. They were deathly afraid of the priest who ran the stables.

it could be a possibility. i bet there are many catholics in italy whether they are the mafia or not who live close to the pope in vatican city who have tweaked views on catholicism such as anti-new world order or anti-illuminati and such. the catholic faith in italy means a lot to the general population there. on the other hand, all it would take is just a full retarded nutcase to assassinate the pope too.

i looked at it briefly, its separate from the 'religious' arm, and is called the 'order of the jesuits' or the 'jesuit order'.. apparently some batshit crazy pirate guy started it, and the trial goes very cold after that

there is a zillion and a half connections/theories between the titanic/federal reserve/and the order-jesuits

it gets creepy when you find out who that priest was on the titanic. all kinds of creepy, theory bullshit aside

Prophecy points to him being the final Pope, the Catholic Church will collapse and Jesus will return as a woman.

Don't worry about poor PR_Glen...he hasn't heard an Official Story(tm) that he doesn't believe

We had a pedophile priest in our parish too. He was allowed to do his thing for 20-odd years.

It's worth noting that John Paul I had been talking about cleaning up the notoriously corrupt Vatican Bank. And when Big Dirty Money is involved, history has shown time & again that people acting against their interests have a much higher-than-average mortality rate...

I'm not sayin'...I'm just sayin'

Who cares... one mafia against another.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

In the Holy See nice guys sleep with the fishes.:2 cents:

I agree he has some deep-seated issues.

In our parish the jesuits were hated and feared. Its always a pirate. :1orglaugh
What the hell man.:disgust

One can only imagine the interviews after she meets Jesus.

I always thought Pope IS mafia.

He is fighting corruption, indeed his life is in danger.

I got five on it
