Product Information
During the late evening of September 28th or the early morning of September 29th, 1978, Pope John Paul I, Albino Luciani, known as 'the smiling Pope', died only thirty0three days after his election. The cause of death - without benefit of an autopsy - was announced by the Vatican to the world's press to be 'myocardial infarction', that is, a heart attack. David Yallop began his investigation into this death at the bequest of certain individuals resident in the Vatican City who were disturbed by a cover-up of the true circumstances surrounding the discovery of the Pope's body. During his continual and intensive research over the next three years, Yallo was to discover - as had Albino Luciani during his brief papacy - that a chain of corruption existed, linking leading figures in financial, political, criminal and clerical circles round the world in a conspiracy. A fierce opponent of corruption, a man of strength despite his manner of humility and gentleness, Albino Luciani never lived to put his house in order. The new Pope had embarke don a revolution. He had ordered an investigation into the Vatican Bank, and specifically into the methods employed by its president, Bishop Paul Marcinkus. He was about to effect a dramatic reshuffle of Vatican staff and has discussed a list of proposed changes with his Secretary of State, Cardinal Jean Villot (who was named on the list) on the last evening of his life. This list bore direct relation to another list in the Pope's possession - that of the number of clerics within the Vatican belonging to the Freemasons - such membership justifying immediate excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church. Luciani also knew about an unconventional, illegal branch of Freemasonry called P2, which extended far beyond Italy in its accumulation of wealth and power and had certainly penetrated the Vatican, involving priests, bishops and even Cardinals. Perhaps causing even greater alarm within the Vatican, however, was the fact that Luciani was planning to adopt a liberal position on the subject of birth control. In startling contrast to the impression later put forward of the new Pope's inflexibility on this issue, Luciani had in fact planned to receive a Congressional delegation the very next month from the State Department in Washington to discuss population control. Six men in particular had powerful reasons for monitoring the activities of Pope John Paul I. Besides Bishop Macinkus and Cardinal Villot in the Vatican, the Sicilian banker Michele Sidona was in New York resisting attempts by the Italian Government o have him extradited. The web of irregularities in the Vatican Bank, which the new Pope's investigation would inevitably uncover, included the laundering of Mafia money and would lead back to Sidonia through long-standing links with Roberto Calvi. In Chicago, the head of the richest arch-diocese in the world, Cardinal Cody, was about to be removed by the new ope. Ovre at least three of these men lurked the shadow of another - Licio Gelli - 'the Puppet Master' - who controlled the Masonic lodge P2 and through it controlled Italy. David Yallop's revelations detail a miasma of criminal financial activities which have led to bribery, blackmail and on more than one occasion, to murder. It is Yallop's conviction that murder was the fate of Pope John Paul I, and he presents his evidence in this book.Product Identifiers
