A recently released C.I.A. memo from 1973 outlines unauthorized operations, including break-ins and biological attacks. This revelation, especially a note on the agency's former director's dealings with the Vatican, sparked interest among scholars regarding the historical ties between the C.I.A. and the Vatican. Analysts like Peter Kornbluh noted that the admission paves the way for exploring a potentially explosive narrative of collaboration that has not been adequately documented in the past, raising significant questions about those covert operations.
In June 1973, a C.I.A. employee documented the agency's unsanctioned activities, revealing covert operations that suggest deeper connections with the Vatican over the years.
This opens a door on a whole history of collaboration between the Vatican and the C.I.A., which, boy, would be explosive if we could get documents about.
