Pope Francis visits Italy's migrant island of Lampedusa
Pope Francis threw a wreath of flowers into the sea, in a sign of mourning - before presiding over an open-air Mass, as David Willey reports, Pope Francis has said Mass for migrants on Italy's tiny island of Lampedusa, condemning the "global indifference" to their plight.
Papa Francesco. Dalla 'fine del mondo' a Lampedusa
Il Pontefice ha scelto, in maniera irrituale e inaspettatamente, come luogo per la sua prima visita pastorale l'isola tristemente nota per le recenti ondate migratorie.

Gramsci Comes to The Bronx: Too Little and Too Late
Whereas Jesus Christ stopped at Eboli on his way elsewhere and has yet to make a confirmed appearance anywhere in the bailiwick of Cardinal Timothy Dolan, I am happy to report that the ironically Christ-like radical Italian philosopher, Antonio Gramsci, has finally made it to The Bronx; but only by way of Switzerland.

Gramsci Comes to The Bronx: Too Little and Too Late
Jerry Krase
Still waiting for Antonio Gramsci in Belmont.

Robert M. Lombardo’s book: “Organized Crime in Chicago: Beyond Mafia” … Or, in short, “Chicago = America”
Robert M. Lombardo’s “Organized Crime in Chicago: Beyond Mafia” is a MUST read for students of the Mafia. However, NOT for the conclusions the author states about “organized crime in AMERICA”!
