Was Al Capone a christian before he died?

Answer 1

Capone's control and interests within organized crime had decreased rapidly on his imprisonment, and he was no longer able to run the Outfit on his release. He lost weight, and his physical and mental health declined, most noticeably with the onset of dementia probably caused by an infection of syphilis, untreated since it was contracted in his youth.[citation needed]

On 21 January 1947, Capone had an apoplectic stroke. He regained consciousness and started to improve, but contracted pneumonia on January 24, and died the next day from cardiac arrest (possibly associated with the 3rd stage complications of syphilis).

Alphonse Capone was originally buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, in Chicago's far South Side between the graves of his father, Gabriele, and brother, Frank. However, in March 1950, the remains of all three family members were moved to Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, west of Chicago.

Al Capone Biography Gangster Name at birth: Alphonsus Capone Alphonse "Al" Capone was one of the most famous U.S. gangsters during the 1930s, a Chicago-based boss involved in illegal gambling, bootlegging (illegal alcohol) and prostitution. Capone got his start in New York, working as a thug and bouncer (where he got the three scars that spawned his nickname, "Scarface"). He moved to Chicago in 1919 and quickly moved up in the ranks of Johnny Torrio's gang. Capone was known for his smarts and brutality, and by 1925 he was in charge of one of Chicago's biggest criminal gangs. It was Capone's men who gunned down seven rivals in 1929 in what was called the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre." Arrested many times over the years, Capone was famously pursued by federal agent Eliot Ness and ended up finally going to jail for income tax evasion in 1931. After serving eight years in federal prisons, Capone was released on good behavior (and because he'd been suffering from syphilis-related ailments). Capone retired to his estate in Florida and died in 1947 of heart failure

Answer 5

Al Capone was catholic. He attended church and gave generously to not only the Church, but provided coal for the elderly and widowed/children. He would also have his driver pull over when he saw poor kids that looked hungry and neglected and would give them money.

Answer 6

I have no idea what religious beliefs Capone espoused, but it would have taken some massive U-turn for him to be any sort of a Christian. To me Christianity is about what you do, not what you profess to believe.

Answer 7

He was probably brought up a Roman Catholic, and likely thought of himself as a Christian.

There's no such thing as a "real" Christian. God will judge each one of us individually.
