IIRC There was a LOT of intrigue around the death of one of the John Paul’s. Wasn’t there one . . . or maybe . . . one of them was Pope a relatively short time?

John Paul I was pope for all of about one month in 1978. There was exactly ZERO intrigue surrounding his death. ZERO. He stopped taking his heart medication and died. It was that simple. Since then, however, hundreds of authors have made up phony stories about his death to sell books. To me it’s the Catholic version of Loose Change or all the other 911 Truthers trying to sell books and DVDs. I guess it is much sexier to say a pope was murdered by [fill-in-the-blank] than to say a quiet, old Italian pope died of heart failure in his bed because he had been too pre-occupied to refill his prescription.
