Netflix Launches New ‘Vatican Girl’ Documentary About Disappearance of 15-Year Old Emanuela Orlandi Presumed Raped And Murdered By Roman Cardinal
In their new documentary ‘Vatican Girl’, Netflix tries to uncover clues to the murder of 15-year old Emanuel Orlandi who may possibly have been raped and murdered by a Cardinal
The Roman Catholic Church has a long and storied history of priests, bishops and cardinals who sexually abused untold tens of thousands of young boys and girls, with some of them like Emanuela Orlandi who were never heard from again. What did the Vatican, over the reign of multiple pope kids do about it? In nearly 100% of the cases, they covered it up, transferred the offending clergy member to a new country and a new church to do it all over again. Opus Bono Sacerdotii is just one such group, but I digress.
“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6 (KJB)
Sadly, it is highly likely that Emanuela Orlandi is the Italian teen version of Jimmy Hoffa, and whatever whoever at the Vatican did to her will never see the light of day in this life. The Vatican is literally built on dead men’s bones, and is “the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” But the sin of whatever was done to Emanuela will be brought to light at the Great White Throne Judgment, as will the actions of all popes, priests, cardinals and bishops of the Roman church that Constantine started in 325 AD.
‘Vatican Girl’ Investigates Whether the Pope Disappeared 15-Year-Old Emanuela Orlandi
FROM YAHOO NEWS: There are few conspiracy theories that captivate conspiratorial Italians as much as the disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi, the daughter of a Vatican employee who vanished outside an Opus Dei church in 1983. Prime suspects? The KGB, the Italian mafia, the Russian mafia, Turkish terrorists, to name a few. But as Vatican Girl, a new Netflix docuseries on the case points out, “There are grains of truth in each theory, but all the roads lead to the Vatican.”
The Daily Beast previewed—OK, binged—the four-part series ahead of its release Thursday, and no documentary to date cuts as close to the bone in the nearly 40-year-old cold case. Tombs have been unearthed, gangsters’ lovers have been interviewed, and international terrorist plots parsed in trying to understand if Orlandi is alive, and, if not, who killed her and why.
Director Mark Lewis unveils a number of new pieces to the puzzle, including the rarely mentioned fact that Orlandi disappeared the day Pope John Paul II was in Poland addressing hordes of Solidarity followers (who were rumored to have been funded by Vatican money with ties to the mafia). He also introduces a new witness who claims that Orlandi, who lived inside the Vatican fortress, was sexually assaulted by a cardinal and that the secret was used to blackmail the church. Lewis told The Daily Beast that sifting through a story with so many leads meant taking some distance. “Crime stories like this have layers of journalism that get laid down like leaves,” he said. “The story has a succession of theories, a succession of clues to work through.”
The story comes to its crux in the final episode, when a friend who knew Orlandi before she was abducted came forward to say that a few weeks before her friend disappeared, her friend was “bothered” by a cardinal who was an ally of the pope in the Vatican gardens. The friend says that Emanuela confided in her about the inappropriate behavior of a sexual nature. A few days later, she vanished.
Lewis also explores the discovery of a leaked Vatican dossier that purports to itemize expenses related to Orlandi’s keep in a London convent for more than 14 years, ending with “final paperwork” and a return to Rome, almost certainly as a corpse.
Will we ever know what happened to the Vatican girl? Probably not, but as Pietro Orlandi, brother of the victim, sums it up, “The only thing I know for sure is that the Vatican knows the truth.” READ MORE
