A priest criticised for
officiating at a Godfather-style funeral in Rome said Friday he
would do it again if asked because even a clan boss deserves
Christian charity. "Would I red Vittorio Casamonica's funeral?
Probably yes, I do my job," Father Giancarlo Manieri told Sky
TV. "It wasn't up to me to block the funeral...an exponent of a
clan is in any case inside the Church", he said. Casamonica's
lavish funeral with a helicopter dropping rose petals onto a
horse-drawn cortege as the Godfather theme played has raised a
firestorm of criticism.
