By Elisabetta PovoledoVatican City, June 25, 2023: Pope Francis on June 25 marked the 40th anniversary of the kidnapping of Emanuela Orlandi, the 15-year-old daughter of a Vatican employee. The Orlandi family — first her parents and then her four siblings — has been tireless in its search for Emanuela. “One was archived in 1997 and the other in 2016,” said Laura Sgro, the Orlandi family lawyer. Not everyone was happy with Pope Francis’s brief remarks, and some supporters of the Orlandi family began chanting, “Truth, truth,” while the pontiff was still speaking. It is what the Orlandi family continues to fight for.
