The Papacy and the Mafia

Pope Francis Denounces 'Evil, Blood-Stained' Mafia from the BBC
"Pope Francis has launched a stinging attack on the mafia, warning gangsters that they will go to hell unless they repent and stop doing evil."
Well, where has the papacy been on this subject all this time?!  I had never really thought about it -- but historically what has been the papacy's position on the Mafia for the last century and a half?  I've seen Godfather III which implicated the Pope in all kinds of dirty dealings -- but what does the historical record say?
