... side note, HK. You never cease to amaze with your erudite scholarship. If only there were a chair in International LCN Studies... clap


Thank you. Glad to hear that but calling me a scholar is a far stretch. A bookworm? Maybe...

The post above should not be taken as a fact but rather as an opinion/thought of mine. The subject is interesting. To my knowledge, the subject (Catholicism and the Mafia) has not been discussed or touched upon enough by Mafia writers or Mafia historians which is a shame, in my opinion.
