    Sorry, I don’t keep up on Vatican news. Who’s he talking to?

    I don’t get it either. Is the Pope doing business with the Mafia?

    An offer you can’t refuse is mafia talk for my way (join us) or execution, but Francis is using it to offer his way (giving up crime) or excommunication, separation from the church. Mafia leaders can no longer have the public appearance of church approval.

    Didn’t you see the movie The Godfather? That’s Al Pacino who played one.

    “Offer”?! He should be giving them an ultimatum they can’t refuse! (But, yeah; it’s a start…)

    He’s making the offer in the name of Christ. Same as to all sinners, whether they repent and change their lives or not—their choice.
