The headline in one of the newspapers was: “Pope dies yet again.”

There was speculation that one of them was poisoned.

Paul VI died on August 6.
John Paul I was elected on August 26.
He probably died on September 28th.
John Paul II was elected on October 16th.

So there were three popes in 71 days.

Add Paul VI to the front end of that timeline.
