Vatican calls Mob bowing 'perversion'

(see previous) (ANSA) - Vatican City, July 7 - Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano on Monday called the bowing to a mob boss during a religious procession in Calabria last Tuesday "something that still occurs" and a "perversion of religious sentiment".
    The newspaper said that events like the Oppido Mamertina procession happen "where the perversion of religious sentiment often accompanies criminal activity and acquiescence, dictated by fear or interest, unfortunately still widespread among the people".
