Bishop bans mafia criminals from being kids' godfathers
Ending a two-century-old tradition, a bishop in Sicily, Italy, banned mafia criminals from acting as godfathers for baptisms at churches or being sponsors to Catholic confirmation in his diocese. The bishop's diocese includes Corleone, a haunted village which was the birthplace of Don Corleone, the fictional Godfather in Mario Puzo's novel and Francis Coppola's film 'The Godfather'.
