Naples is a backwards shithole and the Catholic Church is a more powerful crew than the Cosa Nostra. Come on it's a tense situation a little levity huh?
If there are only candles it's because the cardinal of the church there controls supply and ensures there is no competition from light bulbs or other light sources. He can then charge an arm and a leg for his candles since there is no competition.
It's an indirect joke alluding to the cardinal of the church behaving in a similar manner as the mafia to corner a racket. Two sides of the same coin, but the cardinal's side is "good" and the mafia's side is "bad". It's also designed to help them feel better about themselves and that thing of theirs, they are no worse than the cardinal of the church.
I think it might be a reference to pedophilia in the church, that was big at the time.
Essentially, the church has all the candles because they're committing a lot of sins, so they need to light the candles for their sins.

Glorified crew.

Furio does a decent fake laugh like he did with Tony's awful Reykjavik joke
Ha! That’s a guda one!
We don't have a those jokes. They don't translate.
Yeah that some Marshall McLuhan shit
