Was Pope John Paul I poisoned by the CIA after 33 days reign?

Question

I heard this today and wanted to check the voracity of this statement. Where best but Yahoo answers?

The Vatican is historically Pro-USA, this particular pope was intent on looking into the Banking and Financial affairs of the Vatican. It is true that an Orthodox Russian Priest was poisoned in his presence a week earlier. No autopsy was ever held on this Pope and he was embalmed less than 5 hours after his death.

Answer 1

The discrepancies in the Vatican's account of the events surrounding John Paul I's death—its inaccurate statements about who found the body, what he had been reading, when he had been found and whether an autopsy could be carried out—produced a number of conspiracy theories.

Answer 2

The CIA had nothing to do with his death. I've never heard that before.

Now, it has been rumored that the Vatican wanted him dead and poinsoned him. However, the theory that he was poinsoned is flawed in that it suggests he died at around 4:30 a.m., but his body was found at 5:30 a.m. and rigor mortis had already set in. The theory saying he was poinsoned requires several hours before he'd have died, which would have put his death at around 4:30 a.m.

John Cornwell investigated the reports of the Pope being poisoned, but came to conclude, based on the Pope's niece (who was a medical doctor, by the way), that he was already in poor health. Cornwell concluded that pulmonary embolism was the cause of death. This cause of death fits perfectly with the Pope's past medical history.


Also, the person who died a week prior was not poisoned (that was a conspiracy theory as well). He did die, but he was not poisoned, as wikipedia will explain.

Answer 3

it rather is tense to triumph over "John S" 's answer, whether i'd upload one substantial component to his answer. "John S" says Pope John Paul II "stood up for the suggestions of Vatican II". this is real, even though it would do stable to realize that the effects of Vatican II become no longer the liberal bastardization of the Roman Catholic Church that untold liberals placed forth to wreck the Church's spine. If "John S" realizes that, and potential that as quickly as he says "the suggestions of", then I wholeheartedly accept as true with him. I had an dazzling e book on Vatican II, with Pope John Paul II's image on the front, yet for the existence of me i won't be able to discover it, yet in that e book it become made rather clean the version between what Vatican II become particularly all approximately, and the liberal interpretation and imposition upon the Church. it is likewise genuine clean from different fabric that the call of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI become accomplished with the very clean awareness that Cardinal Ratzinger become a exact adherent to Karol Wojtyla's stable classic thinking with be conscious of to the Church. And that adherence to the extra "classic" way of the Church become between the strongest signs and indications of "goodness and righteousness" any Pope would have. God Bless you.

Answer 4

Haha! My goodness, that is the funniest thing I've heard. Of course the CIA just sits around and goes, "Gee, who should we assassinate today?" THey've always made a point to git rid of those nasty popes they don't like.

Answer 5

Some think it was a group of Satanists. I also heard that they picked the number 33 for some reason, I don't know what though.

Answer 6

NO... but he probably WAS poisoned by one of the Cardinals or on the orders of the College of Cardinals because his views were just too unacceptable to the left wing members of that group.

Answer 7

Nope-- he was probably poisoned by his own in the Vatican.

I remember at the time much being said that he wanted to clamp down of the Masonic infiltration-- that was TOO Much.. he had to go -AND DID!
