Pope Francis slams 'insinuations' against St. John Paul II as baseless after a Roman mobster audiotape was played on Italian TV.
Pope Francis on Sunday publicly defended St. John Paul II, condemning as "offensive and baseless" insinuations that recently surfaced about the late pontiff.
The tape was played on an Italian TV program by Pietro Orlandi, brother of Emanuela Orlandi, the teenage daughter of a Vatican employee who lived at the Vatican. The disappearance of the 15-year-old in 1983 is an enduring mystery that has spawned countless theories and so far fruitless investigations in the decades since.
Emanuela vanished on June 22, 1983, after leaving her family's Vatican City apartment to go to a music lesson in Rome. Her father was a lay employee of the Holy See. RELATED: Vatican leadership, including Pope John Paul II, knew about former Cardinal McCarrick abuse allegations
