Italian church parade defies Pope and pays tribute convicted mobster | CTV News
apparent defiance of Pope Francis, a church procession detoured from its route through a southern Italian town to honour a convicted mobster under house arrest.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano on Sunday denounced the tribute in Oppido Mamertina, a Calabrian town and 'ndrangheta crime syndicate stronghold, as "deplorable and disgusting." He praised three Carabinieri policemen who abandoned the procession in disapproval.
On June 21, Francis, visiting Calabria, had denounced the 'ndrangheta for its "adoration of evil" and said its members were excommunicated.
CBCP confirms Pope Francis’ visit to PHL next year
Catholic Church leaders officially announced on Monday the visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines next year.
In a pastoral letter, Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president Archbishop Socrates Villegas said the Pope will visit areas devastated by super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), “God willing at the beginning of next year, 2015."
Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said the Vatican would release the exact date of the visit either by the end of July or early August while the schedule and itinerary of the pontiff's visit will be released by November.
"The Vatican officials organizing the visit of the pope came to Tacloban and Manila. They would report to the Holy Father and the office in charge of the papal visit. We don’t know what will happen next, we would wait," Tagle said at a press briefing at the end of the three-day 109th Plenary Assembly in Manila.

Pope Francis to meet with Irish abuse victims at Vatican on Monday
James O’Shea @irishcentral July 06,2014 04:06 AM
Pope Francis will meet Irish survivors of abuse by pedophile priests, the first time he has met victims, tomorrow following a mass in the pope’s private chapel.
The six survivors drawn from Ireland, Britain and Germany will be hosted at the pope’s private residence and the meeting will be eagerly watched by survivor groups who have long called for such a meeting.
In May, Francis called the sexual abuse of children by priests a crime comparable to a “satanic Mass” and promised “zero tolerance.”
Two members of his abuse commission have close Irish ties. Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston and Irish campaigner Marie Collins who was assaulted as a 13-year-old by a hospital chaplain will meet with the pope today before the meeting with the abused survivors.
Other members of the commission are drawn from eight countries. British and French psychiatrists, a German psychologist and an Italian cannon law professor are also members. The membership is set to be expanded to include new members from southern hemisphere countries and developing countries including the pope’s native South America, where abuse is still a taboo subject.
In May, the UN Committee Against Torture said the Church had “major failings in dealing with abuse cases” Vatican officials stated that 3,420 abuse cases had been investigated over the past decade by the Church’s Canon Law prosecutors, 848 priests defrocked and 2,572 priests ordered to “live a life of prayer or penance.”
