Im surprised it has to be said.
The activities of the mob are diametrically opposed to the fundamental principles and beliefs of the Catholic Church. How anyone can reconcile the two is amazing to me and speaks to the power of cognitive dissonance.
Nutshell: OC guys are full of shit when they purport to be religious.
Whether they believe it or not.
Of course. It's hypocrisy to the nth degree.
And I just posted something similar the other day, and I generally hate using fictional media as an example. But "The Sopranos" hit in on head with Paulie getting mad at the Priest for not "protecting" him from eternal damnation when Christopher got shot and had that near death experience. Then a few years later he's shaking down the feast. Fucking typical

I can't tell you how many guys were like that when I was growing up. You can't buy your way into Heaven. Doesn't work like that
