I see you have absolutely nothing but personal insults to offer me. I figured as much.

Let me help you. The following are quotes from his brother, physicians and friends after his death.

---

"The day after the enthronement ceremony, I asked his personal doctor how he had found him, bearing in mind all the pressures he was now subjected to. The doctor reassured me, telling me that my brother was in excellent health and that his heart was in good condition." Asked if his brother had ever had any heart trouble, Edoardo replied, "As far as I know absolutely none." -- Edoardo Luciani.

"I don't know what medicines he was taking. I was not his doctor. The first time I saw him on a doctor/patient relationship he was dead." -- Dr. Renato Buzzonetti in Rome

"For a doctor, any doctor, to diagnose myocardial infarction as the cause of death is wrong. I would not be satisfied. If he had known the patient before, had treated him for a period of time, had cared for him during a previous heart attack, had observed the living man after what was to prove to be a fatal heart attack, then the diagnosis might just be permissible. But if he had not known the patient before he is not entitled to make that diagnosis. He is taking a very grave risk and he certainly would not be entitled to take such a risk and make such a diagnosis in this country. Such a diagnosis can only be given after an autopsy." -- Dr. Seamus Banim, heart specialist, London.

Medical history of Albino Luciani:

age 11, tonsils removed.
age 15, adenoids removed.
1964, two operations for gallstones and colon problem.
July 1978 checkup before the conclave. Conclusion: excellent health with a normal ECG.

"In the eight years he was in Venice I only once saw Cardinal Luciani in bed because he was unwell, that was for simple influenza. For the rest, the Patriarch of Venice was very healthy and he did not suffer from any illness." - Msgr. Giuseppe Bosa, Apostolic Administrator of Venice.

"He had absolutely no cardiopathic characteristics, besides, his low blood pressure should, at least in theory, have made him safe from acute cardiovascular attacks. The only time I needed to give him treatment was for the influenza attack." - Dr. Carlo Frizzerio, Venice physician.

"Do you have a secret medicine? Albino Luciani is in perfect health and he is so much more relaxed. What magic drugs do you have?" - Dr. Guiseppe Da Ros, regular personal physician speaking to Fr. Diego Lorenzi, secretary to Albino Luciani 1976-1978.

New Developments (March 2002)

It has been reported that the investigation into the death of Pope John Paul I has been reopened. In another development the cause for the beatification of Pope John Paul I is about to be entered at Rome. So keep praying.

You'll have to ask the author. I just posted what he wrote because if I tamper with it, somebody would complain. So much for that plan!

Careful. They will start calling you names like "conspiracy hound."

What's that? It's someone who collects evidence that two or more people were cooperating in a common cause which resulted in some event, but an event that liberals would like to be thought of as coincidental or happenstance or fate or "natural selection." Since the collection of data opposed to that view constitutes a challenge to it, rather than enter a reasoned debate, they attack with ad hominem nonsense.
