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.

Famous quotes containing the words conspiracy and/or theory:
“Impenetrable in their dissimulation, cruel in their vengeance, tenacious in their purposes, unscrupulous as to their methods, animated by profound and hidden hatred for the tyranny of man—it is as though there exists among them an ever-present conspiracy toward domination, a sort of alliance like that subsisting among the priests of every country.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“The weakness of the man who, when his theory works out into a flagrant contradiction of the facts, concludes “So much the worse for the facts: let them be altered,” instead of “So much the worse for my theory.””
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
