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.' Despite their differing professions, they shared a close bond, growing up in an Italian-American Catholic family in Brooklyn. Following Tony's death in July 2022, Father Sirico provided him with a heartfelt confession, highlighting their deep connection. Fans recognized Father Sirico's striking resemblance to his brother during interviews about the conclave voting process.
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.
