Pope Francis is visiting the Italian island of Sicily to pay homage to a priest who was murdered by the mafia 25 years ago.As pointed out in the cutline to a photo of Puglisi, his catchphrase was "And what if somebody did something?"
Father Giuseppe Puglisi was shot dead while working as a parish priest in the city of Palermo.
The priest was renowned for working with young people to keep them away from drugs and the mafia.
So let's now jump to the end of the article:
Last month, Pope Francis visited Ireland where he asked for forgiveness for members of the Catholic Church who "kept quiet" about clerical child sex abuse.The Beeb did all but scream in pointing out the difference between the Pope praising a priest to advocated speaking out against the Mafia and asking forgiveness for those in the RCC who kept quiet.
I gather that the distinction is that, when it comes to criminal practices, the Mafia is more of a generalist and the RCC is more of a specialist organization.
