In 1978, Pope John Paul I was found dead in his bed just 33 days after he was elected. The official story is that he suffered a fatal heart attack. But in the years since his death, some have claimed he was murdered to cover up crimes in the Vatican. The question of the Pope’s death has never been definitively answered, but there is one man who claims to know the truth. A man from one of New York City’s crime families who has deep ties to the Italian mafia. He was there the day of the Pope’s death and witnessed his murder firsthand. Or, at least, that’s what he says. His name is Anthony Raimondi, and these are his confessions.From USG Audio and Truth Media in association with Clockwork Films.For more episodes of The Confessions of Anthony Raimondi, visit here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why always assumptions that teens "need fixed". More than likely they have dealt with immense trauma within their family setting. When are parents held accountable?

So well made and so heartbreaking. It's one of those stories that's going to haunt me a while

Heartbreaking. Truth revealing. Respect to its survivors. I hope a sequel on this podcast will track down more of them and let them tell their stories about life after sedu.

as someone who went to a later/east-coast iteration of CEDU and endured all of these experiences, this was really powerful and i hope this podcast and story spreads because the “industry” is so in the shadows and somehow no one knows the truth about it. it should be an issue that is brought to light and fought all the way to washington. great pod and THANK YOU! 👍🏼👍🏼
