(see related)The leader of the
anti-immigrant, anti-euro Northern League party suggested Friday
a Rome priest agreed to officiate at the funeral of a known
mafia boss because he wanted to encourage the clan to donate
money to the Catholic Church.
"Lavish funeral for a Rome clan boss, the parish priest
says 'I'd do it again'," Matteo Salvini wrote on Facebook.
"Why? Maybe the boss's 0.08% whet his appetite," he wrote
in reference to Italy's 0.08% personal income tax devolution to
organized religions.
Taxpayers can decide which organized religion, if any, to
donate their quota to.
