We continue with what for me, is a surreal piece of work: 'In God's Name by David Yallop. On a Saturday,August 26th, 1978, I was given some clarity as to my inability to stay focused in the present.For over a month, I had lost control of my vision,and daily found myself 'watching' a man, who was a stranger to me.Over this time where I lost control of my vision,there was always at least one of three beings present,that would talk me through what I was seeing.Up to this Saturday the visions had been upbeat,and mostly dealt with this 'stranger's' life.

When what I was seeing got closer to the moment,particularly when he went to Rome for the Conclave,the 22 year old me, had the realization that this 'stranger' was going to be the next Pope. I could never do justice to try and explain what I seen and heard in that square that day,other then to say the vision caused me to faint,and I awoke on my neighbor's couch across the street, where previously we had been watching the events in Rome. My first words to my friends was...'They are going to kill Him'...hence it became known to me as tell a vision...I included a couple of links to the corruption tied to his holiness murder inside,more to come in the following parts.

... Within twenty-four hours of Paul’s death, with his body unburied and his Papacy unevaluated, Ladbrokes, the London bookmakers, had opened a book on the Papal election. The Catholic Herald, while carrying a front-page article criticizing the action, took care to let its readers know the current odds.

Cardinal Pignedoli was favourite at 5–2. Cardinals Baggio and Poletti were joint second favourites at 7–2, followed by Cardinal Benelli at 4–1. Also strongly fancied was Cardinal Willebrands at 8–1. Cardinal Koenig was quoted at 16–1. England’s Cardinal Hume was 25–1. These surprisingly long odds on the Englishman could perhaps be attributed to a statement Hume had made to the effect that he did not have the qualities for the job. Longest odds were quoted for Cardinal Suenens. Albino Luciani did not appear in the list of Papal runners.

Condemned by some for displaying lack of taste, Ladbrokes defended themselves by pointing out that with regard to the empty throne the ‘newspapers are full of speculation about front-runners, contenders and outsiders.’

Indeed the speculation had begun even before Pope Paul’s death. Peter Hebblethwaite, an ex-Jesuit priest converted to Vatican-watching, had asked in the Spectator on July 29th, ‘Who is running for Pope?’ He picked out three form horses to follow – Pignedoli, Baggio and Pironio. Whether Pope Paul had read Hebblethwaites comment that he ‘cannot be expected to live very much longer’ in his last few days, is not known.
