Oh?
In your opinion, how do you think JPI died, Della?

I've placed my bet on it for the Vulture Movie League. Good buzz for Ralph Finnes.

Didn't we already do this with HBO's "The Young Pope" and then "The Two Popes" film? I'm all Poped out....

The cast is amazing. Looking forward to this.
Saw Joker 2 and I’m still pondering wtf I saw.

R5, I’ve read the book too.
Who is playing *that* character?

The book was an inch deep and mile wide. It read like a film pitch.

r3 PoisonedDragon, I'll go with heart attack.
I do see from the Wikipedia entry that there exist conspiracy questions, but just as most times a cigar is just a cigar, most times death by heart attack is death by heart attack.
The short reign of 33 days certainly is unusual.
Now, the truly extraordinary instance of Pope Benedict resigning? What? Why?
According to that excellent PBS Frontline "Secrets of the Vatican" he was ganged-up on and felt overwhelmed by what he was finding out about Vatican finances....
Hmmm...

I'm torn.
I want spoilers posted here and I don't want spoilers posted here. I haven't read the book.

Am not Della but I think he was bumped off. The college of cardinals wouldn't have elected him if he was known to be in poor health.
It's too bad because he sounded like a good guy. Far better than his successor.
