Nah, Father Gigante still has that job, even though he recently retired from the Priesthood. But I don't want to go off topic and get started on that friggin guy.

You're spot-on about Franzese, though. The guy clearly has some kind of mental problem that keeps drawing him back to the fringes (at the very least) of the mob. Being that he never really gave testimony about anyone important and had no hand in putting anyone in jail, today his plea seems like it might have been a tactical maneuver.

Today admitting you're a member of OC is boilerplate if you want even the smallest plea deal. Bosses do it now, get shorter sentences, and come out with their stripes so they can steal some more. So yes, Franzese is at least welcome in their company.

And he's a fucking hypocrite.
