In a move that illustrates the ongoing prevalence of organized crime in the country, Italy’s bishops’ conference for the southern region of Campania, notorious for its mafia activity, has announced the establishment of diocesan commissions to support and guide anti-mafia priests.
Speaking at a conference held over the weekend to commemorate the anniversary of a major anti-mafia document, Bishop Antonio Di Donna of Acerra and president of Italy’s Episcopal Conference of Campania (CEC) said the church in the region “has not kept silent about the Camorra.”
