Fr. Antonio Mennini, a Vatican official, served as the intermediary between Moro and his family during the time of the captivity. How Fr. Mennini came to serve in this capacity raises questions about the extent of the Vatican’s involvement in the crime. Fr. Mennini, who claimed to have heard Moro’s last confession, was the son of Luigi Mennini, who served under the direct supervision of Archbishop Paul Marcinkus.
