John Paul I's assasination
Century 3, Quatrain 65
When the sepulchre of the great Roman is found,
The day after a Pope shall be elected:
The Senate (Conclave) will not approve of him.
His blood is poisoned in the sacred chalice.
Century 10, Quatrain 12
The one elected Pope will be mocked by his electors,
This enterprising and prudent person will suddenly be reduced in silence,
They cause him to die because of his too great goodness and mildness,
Stricken by fear, they will lead him to his death in the night.
Century 4, Quatrain 11
He who will have the government of the great cape
Will be led to execute in certain cases.
The twelve red ones will spoil the cover.
Under murder, murder will come to be perpetrated.
