Rome – A southern Italian mayor hailed for his commitment to fighting organised crime has been killed in a mafia-style execution.

News report and the local prosecutor said Angelo Vassallo was found dead in the village of Acciaroli, his body riddled by bullets. The ANSA news agency said the 57-year-old was shot on Monday in his car near his home.

The prosecutor leading the investigation, Alfredo Greco, said the killing bore the hallmarks of a "nasty execution" and said Vassallo's "corpse is riddled by bullets".

The prosecutor also told Sky Italia that he believed Vassallo was killed because he "opposed illegality".

The coastal village is about 150km south of Naples in a region plagued by the Camorra crime syndicate.

Reid poll from September 2011 [Canadians Split On Whether Religion Does More Harm in the World than Good]. It surveyed Canadians about religion. Only 16% of Canadians attend church every week and about 30% of Canadian say they don't believe in God. Only 53% of Canadians now say they believe in God. http://www.ipsos-na.com/news-polls/pressrelease.aspx?id=5328 "In the U.S., all the major (Christian) denominations have seen their numbers decline in recent years, but the Catholic Church has taken the biggest hit. Since the 1960s, four American-born Catholics have left the church for every one who has converted, according to a 2009 Pew study. In 2008 alone, Catholic membership declined by 400,000. More than 1,000 parishes have closed since 1995. http://theweek.com/article/index/202388/catholics-in-crisis One day all that will be left is the music. Read the article...
