Catholic Priest Says A Schoolgirl Who Went Missing In 1983 Was Kidnapped For Vatican Sex Parties
Business Insider International ^ | 5/22/12 | 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.

From the "truth is stranger than fiction" section. Malachi Martin meets Dan Brown..........

Amorth better be right about this. He of all people should know that this sort of allegation should not be aired without absolute certitude.

I would have to ask if anyone believes it possible that a “group” of people who would constitute a sex party would, to a man, keep a thing like this secret. Doesn’t seem plausible to me.

Interesting the ‘timing’ of this ‘report’. More Catholic bashing, I presume. Commies do what Commies do.

yes, the priest "believes".....no proof whatsoever....

I am open for any evil however, in this world....it wouldn't be totally unexpected....

maybe this is Satan's way of controlling the earth...mixing true evil acts with rumors of such and we the people can't figure the difference....left not believing in anything...

Well after what the Catholic Church did to protect homosexual priests preying on young boys, I think they earned a bit of bashing. And I’m not sure what the commies have to do with it.

Hmmm... By my calculations that is over 3 exorcisms every day for 58 years. If that is correct math then this story does not pass the smell test for me..
But..who knows ??

Wow, both of my comments deleted.

And we wonder why less and less people are donating to the FReepathons. Not mention this sight is as slow as molasses for the past few months.

Delete away Moderator. ;-)

It seemed to me that it was individual bishops protecting the fags, not official policy.

And as far as commies, I thought one theory was that the commies who infiltrated the priesthood perpetrated a lot of the immoral behavior, or something.

But what do I know.

Actually, Amorth lost me when he said “Harry Potter is Satanic”. I think he’s getting doty.

And correct me if I’m wrong, but would a Catholic priest start doing exercisms his first day on the job? I would assume he’d have to “level up” as it were.

Nothing that merited a “delete”, but oh well.

This type of stuff is why the FReepathons are taking forever to meet their goals.

Only one of yours was removed. It was removed automatically because on the Religion Forum any post containing potty language - or a reference to potty language - is removed.

If you need to see the post to repost it without the problem word, let me know.

A few things don’t make sense.

The girl disappeared in 1983, the mob boss was murdered in 1990.

Why would the Vatican wait until 7 years later to dispose of the girl’s body.

Keeping a sex slave for 7 years has inherent risk so I would bet that the Vatican would not risk keep the girl long term.

The other thing that I find puzzling is that after only 22 years that only bones would remain in the tomb.

The Vatican has kept much uglier secrets than this.

OK, no worries, but why did this show-up on the Main Forum page under General discussion? The story was from the Business Insider International. I wasn't aware this was a religious publication?

Where did this thread indicate it was from/for the Religion forum? Not trying to be a pain, just asking.

Thanks.
