So, broadly, it would be more common for Italian mafiosi to be Freemasons than American mafiosi?

I think this topic is going to get confusing... Freemasons say they are bound by strict codes of ethics and morality. Many judges, politicians and police are Freemasons - now we find out gangsters are, too?

What can you tell me about 'P2' - is that the same as the Opus Dei religious sect who torture themselves as religious penance?

Thanks in advance....
