Catholic Priest Says A Schoolgirl Who Went Missing In 1983 Was Kidnapped For Vatican Sex Parties
Business Insider ^ | May 22, 2012 | Michael Kelley

The Catholic Church's leading exorcist priest asserts that a Vatican employee's daughter thought to be buried in a mob boss's tomb was kidnapped for Vatican sex parties, reports Nick Pisa of the Daily Mail.

Father Gabriel Amorth, who was ordained in 1954 and has carried out more than 70,000 exorcisms, made the claim to Italian newspaper La Stampa as police examine the contents of mobster Enrico De Pedis's tomb for clues about the 1983 disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi.

Father Amorth, 85, noted that an archivist at the Vatican previously admitted to recruiting girls for parties and told La Stampa newspaper the he believes that Orlandi "ended up in this circle" and that the "case of sexual exploitation" led to her murder followed by "the hiding of her body," according to the Daily Mail.

Father Amorth also said that "diplomatic staff from a foreign embassy to the Holy See" were also involved.

You didn’t seem to know what the archivist was although you read the article, or even if he was male or female, I hope that cleared it up.

The Priest that John Paul II appointed as the head Exorcist was describing what he had learned from the archivist, who was a Monsignor.

-—Is the girl’s kidnapping a fact or a rumor?
Is her sexual exploitation a fact or a rumor?
Is her murder a fact or a rumor?-—

Read the article and decide for yourself.

Its a leap i think to say you know and to confess involvement if these was any. To me if he had knowledge of the events at the time and did nothing he bears a great degree of guilt. From your statements i think you believe the same.

Yes. TY.

Yes. That’s evident from the Daily Mail article. I’m just frustrated by both ambiguous reports.

Libertarians are scum.

The Libertarian party platform endorses sexual perversion:

“Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict personal relationships. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships.”

The Libertarian Party platform endorses abortion:

“Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.”

So do you condemn Libertarians the same way that you try to smear the church with the rantings from a blog?

Are you saying that the priests of Christ’s universal Church should be without sin? Or without serious sin?

Either way, the idea doesn’t seem biblical.

An archivist, not necessarily a priest.

AND from the article:

“Father Amorth also said that “diplomatic staff from a foreign embassy to the Holy See” were also involved.”

Where does it say that the diplomatic staff was anything but just that? The Vatican is a separate state and often receives diplomatic staffs, not just Catholic ones.

Those who kidnapped, sexually exploited and murdered the girl condemned themselves.

I think most rational people want those who abuse and exploit others to be tried and punished.

How fascinating that instead of condemning exploitation and abuse, you prefer to smear those who expose them?

Those are the actions of those who seek to cover up sin and abuse, not those who wish them to be brought to light.

They shouldn’t rape children but that’s been a slight problem for the church hasn’t it?...

And neither is the Catholic church. It simply says it is universal for all peoples who want to join. It does NOT claim to be the only church in existence.

Can you two take it out back. I’m trying to read discourse about the article posted not a couple of guys ranting about something off topic. Geez!

What “business” of it is it Insider Business news’?

Do they also regularly account public school sex corruption?

City governments like the Democrat homosexual lobbyist in Houston who as murdered at home and had the evidence “buried” with subsequent arson to the murder?

What makes something “newsworthy” to a specialty publication on investments?

What sort of “clues” would be buried in a mobster’s tomb? Files? Photographs? Another body?
