"As we sat in a private location, I pulled out a Confessional Stole from my pocket. I looked into his eyes and said, 'How about that confession?' Father Sirico said in a death announcement."
"I sensed that the end was coming. My brother agreed and I did one of the most significant things a priest can do for another human being. I absolved him of all of his sins."
Father Robert Sirico, a priest attending the papal conclave, is the brother of the late Tony Sirico, famous for portraying Paulie Walnuts in 'The Sopranos.'
