Short Takes 2: Whoa, Frankie

In case you haven't heard, Pope Francis just excommunicated the Mafia.

Dude is chill as fuck. Am I allowed to say that about
the Pope? Whatever lol.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the Mafia is, on the whole, as these things go, more or less SUPER CATHOLIC.

They're all former altar boys and take turns giving readings
at each other's funeral Mass.

And the Holy Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church just traveled right into the toe of Italy's boot - aka Center of the Mafia Universe - and excommunicated their cannoli-eating asses right out.

And someday, my precious child, if you join the Family,
I'll kick your ass out, too.

At this point the mob would seriously lose face if they didn't at least try to rub out the Pope. Which is going to take a shitload of rosaries to fix. But I'm pretty sure it's inevitable.

Pope Frankie, taking on the Mafia. Most badass Pope evah.
