John Paul II insinuations in 'Vatican Girl' case create dilemma for Francis (Crux)
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.
