CWN Editor's Note: In 1983, Emanuela Orlandi, a 15-year-old girl and Vatican citizen (her father worked for the Vatican Bank), disappeared. The Vatican closed an inquiry into the case in 2020, but reopened the inquiry in January.
Following a meeting with Vatican prosecutor Alessandro Diddi, Orlandi’s brother insinuated that Pope St. John Paul II sexually abused young women.

With the way Vatican under Francis operates - with secret CCP "deal," the pachamama idols, London "charitable investment," McCarrick's promotion, Martin's promotion, Rupnik's exoneration, gay orgy without consequences, etc., etc. - it doesn't surprise me that they greenlighted the smear of a saintly Pope who was opposed to their agendas. The individuals currently in charge of the Vatican could be more interested in the smear rather than actual resolution of the 1983 potential murder case.
