POPE STUFF ... Did you know that, Pope John Paul I, died 33 days after being elected in 1978? And other crazy facts!

Damn... some crazy stuff here... as I got down the Pope Rabbit Hole!

The 263rd Pope, Pope John Paul I, died just 33 days after being named The Pope in 1978. But, that was NOT the shortest term.

His successor, Pope #264 took the same name, John Paul II, who was the main Pope most of us recall from our youthm, who served from 1978-2005 = 26 Years!

The shortest reigning pope was Pope Urban VII, who ruled for only 13 days in September 1590 before dying of malaria. He was elected and became pope on September 15, 1590, but died on September 27, 1590. He F'd up, should have got the vaccine at Walgreens!

My question is... how the F#@k do they know any of these details from 1,000 years ago? Seems like a stretch for some of this info...

Fun Fact: Pope Benedict IX was only 20 years old, when elected in the year 1032 til 1048. While Pope Clement X was the oldest when elected, at age 79 in 1670.

More fun facts: Out of 267 Popes, 217 were born in Italy!

Runner up is France with 16. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category: ... ationality

In short, Italy are the Patriots of the Pope competition! Lol

Lastly, will Ghost's catalog sky-rocket in sales in the coming weeks, months? I say YES! Let's wait and see!

A lot of people think JP I was assassinated because he uncovered major Vatican dirt and was going to go public with it. It's all documented in this book:

There's all kinds of weird history with Catholics and the Vatican. There was a brothel in there at one point. The reason why Popes can't marry or have children was so the Vatican could hold on to it's power...it used to be done like a monarchy where the son would take over. I read a book called "Dark History -The Popes that was pretty good. The whole"Dark History " line of books is great reading.

Didn't even live long enough to earn one paycheck.

It’s been years since I’ve watched it but wasn’t Godfather III largely about the “murder” of one of the popes? Maybe the “33” days guy, JP 1?
