The News Dispatch with Omolo Beste
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2013
Bony from USA has read with great shock my dispatch of last night about Pope Francis being at risk from Italian mafias who are not happy with his call to cleaning up the mess at the Vatican Bank.
What Bony should know is that Italian mafias are the most well organized criminal mob groups in the world. As such it is almost impossible group to clean up. The mob has thwarted law enforcement from cracking down on human rights violations, including kidnappings, assassinations, drug dealings, fraudulent thefts, money laundering and organized crimes. Because of their criminal activity, they are worth over $100 billion dollars.
Another thing Bony should know is that the Mafia have settled nicely into the US where she is, bringing with them murder and mayhem. Tagged in one umbrella as the Sicilian Mafia, the mob is considered to be the second largest organization of any kind in Italy. This makes them the most powerful mob in the world.
The mob includes devout Catholics, priests, bishops and cardinals. They are prayerful, humble and committed to their pastoral activities. That is why they are able to hide behind the Vatican shrouds, hoping to validate their criminal behavior as being in line with Biblical teachings.
The mob’s power began long ago in 1860, when a new, unified Italy took over the Papal States. Many Popes were outraged. They encouraged citizens to revolt against lawmakers and law enforcers. They convinced many citizens at that time that the government was against Catholicism.
It is tagged Sicilian mafia because the mob is a criminal organization originating in Sicily, Italy. Should you interfere with their movement, is the reason why they threaten to kill. Just in August this year a priest in southern Italy was threaten by the mafia members that should he continue to preach against them he would be killed.
The members were believed to be behind a recent attack on his parish after he preached critically about them and called them to conversion.
According to the Italian daily Avvenire, Father Stefano Giaquinto – pastor of Saint Mary of the Victory in Casagiove – was surprised on the night of Aug. 15 by a fire at the “Nazarene” parish center, a clinic for drug rehabilitation which he founded and directs.
The fire took place days after the priest had denounced the mafia of the region from the altar, describing them as “the cancer of our land.” The priest is regularly the target of threats as mafia members always entered his church with weapons.
Like Pope Francis, Pope John Paul I had expressed the wish to clean up the mess at the Vatican, only to be found dead in his bedroom after serving for only 33 days. Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, former head of the Vatican Bank. Marcinkus was at the heart of the Bank scandal and the death of Roberto Calvi, nicknamed God’s Banker.
When Italian police recently arrested Salvatore Lo Piccolo, the suspected head of the Sicilian Mafia, they also found a list of ten commandments that served as a guide for the behavior of Mafia members.
1. No-one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.
2. Never look at the wives of friends.
3. Never be seen with cops.
4. Don’t go to pubs and clubs.
5. Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty – even if your wife’s about to give birth.
6. Appointments must absolutely be respected.
7. Wives must be treated with respect.
8. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
10. People who can’t be part of Cosa Nostra: anyone who has a close relative in the police, anyone with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn’t hold to moral values.

Real change must come from ordinary people who refuse to be taken hostage by the weapons of politicians in the face of inequality, racism and oppression, but march together towards a clear and unambiguous goal.
