Vatican, the hard clash between progressives and conservatives
In Vatican tension is running high after the death of Ratzinger and the revelations of his loyalist father Georg with the insinuations on Pope francesco and a part of Churchthe more progressive one it would bring Benedict XVI to resign. It is, therefore, by no means accidental – reads the Fatto Quotidiano – the decision of the magistrates from the Holy See a few days after Ratzinger’s death to reopen the dossier on Emanuela Orlando. The case of the girl disappearance intertwines again with the pontificate of Ratzinger and with the story Vatileaks 1that is, the publication of some confidential documents of the German Pope passed on to journalists by the unfaithful butler Paolo Gabriele, who disappeared in 2020. In Vatican the conviction is almost unanimous. The sudden reopening of the case Orlandoafter years of insistent requests from Emanuela’s family and without the relatives of the 15-year-old who disappeared in 1983 being informed in advance, is the sign evident that they want to be archived the controversy follow the death of Pope emeritus Benedict XVI.
It had been a long time, in fact, – continues the fact – that i family members of Orlando they asked the Vatican prosecutors to be able to evaluate new revelations on the case of which they had come to knowledge. In the memoir of the secretary of Ratzingerco-written with Vatican expert Saverio Gaeta and entitled “Nothing but the truth. My life alongside Benedict XVI” (Piemme), a large chapter is dedicated precisely to the mystery of Emanuela. “I was also guaranteed – writes Father Georg – that, over the years, he had been done as much as possible to help the Orlandi family and I duly communicated all this information to Pope Benedict”. The magistrates are investigating the dossier of the Orlandi case and doubts about the photocopied text by Father Georg, for now there are no traces of the copy of the manuscript, but the investigators wondered why there was so much fear in the Church for the presence of this copy of the file.
