Is there a particularly good book on the assassination of Pope John Paul I?

I understand that the details of the pope's death are very suspicious, and that his plans for the Church would have been pretty radical.

    Yep, Yallop's book, which I happen to be reading now, is excellent. So are some websites. The evidence is very damning.

    Pope John Paul I was in good health

    According to Dr. Buzzonati, Pope John Paul I's cause of death was a heart attack. Regarding this alleged “heart attack,” John Paul I's niece affirmed:

    “In my family almost no one believes it was a heart attack that killed my uncle. He never had heart trouble or any illness of that kind.” (San Juan Star, October 3, 1978) http://www.thesanjuanstar.com/

    And Pope John Paul I’s brother:

    “John Paul’s brother Edoardo, in Australia on a trade mission, reported that the Pope had been given a clean bill of health after a medical examination three weeks ago. He was frail in health as an infant and as a young priest, but there were no reports of heart trouble.” (San Juan Star, October 9, 1978)

    From Time magazine (October 9, 1978):

    In an earlier age so untimely a death might have stirred deep suspicions: “If this were the time of the Borgias,” said a young teacher in Rome, “there’d be talk that John Paul was poisoned.”

    Fact or fiction?

    Pope John Paul I died of natural causes. He was very ill at the time of accepting the office of Pope.

    The fact that a female (a nun) found the body instead of a man caused the Vatican to hesitate before announcing the death and since then all kinds of silly stories have sprung up.

    Here is a nice story on the subject: http://www.the-tidings.com/2008/100308/essays_text...

    The most believable among those books is the one that conclusively proves that Elvis did it.

    Another that has gotten more than its fair share of press is that it was done by Colonel Mustard in the Study with a Rope. I think Tom Hanks will be taking the lead role in the movie version.

    Just make it up in your head. Probably a better story that way.

    There is no good book because there is no real story besides some crack pot conspiracy nut stuff.

    Old guy gets a shock (by being elected Pope) and dies.

    It isn't really suspicious.

  • was never assassinated

    conspiracies are abound, but he died of natural causes

    ---edit-----

    I call bullshit on the "in good health" claim the man collapsed several times as a priest and was damn near lucky he even made it to infancy.

    there was no good health about that man

    Source(s): may he rest in peace

    nope because he wasn't.

    you might find some good fiction or psycho conspiracy theories but other than that..... nope.

    why not look at the facts
