Episode 6: Conclave Conspiracy-Poison in the House of God

Episode 7: The Conclave Conspiracy – Poison in the House of God In the spring of 1550, cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope. The doors were locked. The outside world shut out. But as the votes were cast, something far more sinister began to unfold. One by one, cardinals fell ill. Some collapsed after meals. Others died quietly in their chambers. By the end of the conclave, as many as six electors were dead — and the man who emerged as pope was not the favorite. Was it divine will? Or a political purge carried out with poison? This episode dives into one of the most chilling episodes in Vatican history — a conclave cloaked in death, surrounded by silence, and still guarded by centuries of secrecy. We trace the shadowy events of 1550, examine similar deaths in later conclaves, and ask: Is the Holy Spirit the only force guiding the papal vote? #unsolved #unsolved mystery #disappearance #disappearances #eerie #subscribers #100subscribers #viral #subscribe #subscribenow Thanks to our monthly supporters William jared K Lisa Mooney Jamie Mcconnell ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
