Pope Francis made the remarks during an outdoor mass in Calabria, the power base of the notorious mafia crime syndicate known as the Dranguetta. Pope Francis was in the area to meet with the family of a three year old boy who was gunned down by the mafia, Niccolo Cucocapalungo, along with his grandfather and another adult who were shot in the head. The car they were in was then doused in gasoline and then set on fire. Though his comments were harsh, they really shouldn't come as a shock
