Some people have alleged that Cardinal Siri was poisoned in order to silence him. Again there is no evidence to support this theory. Siri (under duress) attended the Vatican II Council. At one point he was to give an address at it and had a severe medical reaction which prohibited him from speaking. He predicted this medical attack would occur before it did, which has led many to speculate that in some way he was poisoned or drugged. The medical reaction was grave enough that he had to be removed from the floor of the council - which was reported overseas in the New York press. Before Siri died he put a specific plan in motion (created Cardinals) to continue the Petrine succession of the Church, which Siri Thesis adherents hold are in currently in exile.
