In Gods Name - David Yallop

The book, first published in 1984, explores the circumstances surrounding the death of Pope John Paul I, who served as Pope for only 33 days in 1978 before his sudden death.

Yallop's book presents a theory that the Pope's death was not the result of natural causes, as was officially reported, but rather was a result of foul play. Yallop argues that there were powerful individuals within the Vatican who were threatened by Pope John Paul I's reformist agenda and his efforts to clean up corruption within the church. He suggests that these individuals may have conspired to have the Pope assassinated.

To support his theory, Yallop presents evidence and testimony from various sources, including Vatican insiders, medical experts, and Italian police investigators. He also explores the political and economic motivations that may have driven such a conspiracy.

While the book's theory is controversial and has been challenged by some, "In God's Name" remains a provocative and influential work that has raised important questions about the inner workings of the Catholic Church and the role of powerful institutions in shaping history.
