Letters to the Pope: One Man's Quest for the Truth: The Book, is the companion book to the award-winning documentary film of the same title. It is the true story of one man's decades long struggle to discover the truth of his own origin and that of his Casa Cuna siblings, babies, now adults that were all illegally adopted and sold from the same nursery in Spain.
Enrique Vila Torres, now an adult, learned of this deception through accident. Shocked but determined to find his biological mother, he began a lifelong commitment on behalf of himself and victims just like him to get the answers to questions many of us take for granted-Who am I? Where did I come from?
Yet, Catholic Church leaders, nuns and powerful government officials continue to stonewall those who search for the truth and even refuse to follow the law and court orders which would give Enrique and his siblings access to birth records that are legally and rightfully theirs.
As the honorary big brother of the Casa Cuna siblings, Enrique, now a lawyer, advocate, and voice for stolen baby victims across Spain, has been writing to Pope Francis for over 15 years, begging for his help and intervention in their case.
Now, these heartfelt letters have been translated into English and published here. And for the first-time in any publication, Enrique's Final Letter to the Pope is exclusively in this book.
When not appealing to the Pope for help, Enrique continues to do everything humanly possible on behalf of himself and victims across Spain. Dedicated to exposing the baby stealing and selling criminal network in Spain he refuses to back down, despite the cover-ups, lies, deception, and threats he has and continues to face.
Now, he is taking the fight right to the steps of the Vatican and to Pope Francis personally. This book gives a behind the scenes look at his quest for the truth, and how his life has changed now that his story and struggle have been chronicled in print and on film.
Will the Church and the Pope finally break their silence and do the right thing?
Letters to the Pope is ultimately about the power of love and determination to never stop until the truth is once and for all revealed. A truth which we all have a right to know. No matter what.
