Michael Corleone seeks absolution for his criminal past by approaching the leaders of the Vatican Bank in “The Godfather III.”
Oh, wait! It’s the wrong Michael.

I prefer Pope Francis, who operates in moderation. If you hope to be named Cardinal, I would urge you to avoid operating in the extreme.

Listen here, Bishop. Times are tough. Either I see a few more of the Church’s non-exempt properties at my law firm for tax work or I take a hard line on the sanctuary properties and you get a bill from Pappas. And don’t threaten me. I cut a deal with the other team long ago.

Madigan:
Bishop, I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying - we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers; true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn’t get a bleeping job, we had the presidency. May he rest in peace. That’s what the goo goos don’t realize. If I got one thing against the IPI, it’s this - no one gives it to you. You have to take it.

When you decide to be something, you can be it. That’s what they don’t tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I’m saying to you is this: what’s the difference?

Bishop, Can you block out about 3 hours for a confession? I think I’m ready to re-up my membership. You see, being a good Catholic hasn’t been too practical for me here the last 10 years.

“Bishop, Rome wanted me to explain. They aren’t drawing you out of your diocese, it’s just that this new map worked with you outside.

Now, your new diocese, it’s going to be more of, let’s say, a challenge… “
