What is ‘In The Name Of God, Our Father Clericalism’ about?
June 18th, 1982, Blackfriars Bridge, London, England. The body of Roberto Calvi, who handled a major share of the Vatican’s finances is found hanging under the bridge, just days after the collapse of the biggest private bank in Italy, which he was responsible for. Initially recorded as a suicide, the truth will reveal a more sinister story involving murder, the mafia and links all the way up the top of the Vatican, including the pope himself.
