Two Hundred Fifty-third Pope: Pius VIII - 1 comments



Pius only reigned for a year and a half, and rarely enjoyed good health before his death. Despite his constant maladies, there were still accusations of foul play - contemporaries remarked that the body was in good shape, and cause of death was uncertain.

Not a bad likeness, Mr. Kirkland ... We must admit, being rather old-fashioned and anti-modernist and that sort of thing, that We've never gotten into these modern sketching techniques, but some of them -- especially this one -- is rather "cool." We are flattered, and shall soon tell Our other papal friends at totuspius.blogspot.com.

Also, if you know any more behind the poison theory, please let Us know -- We have been dying to find out how We, well, died.

God bless!

Pius PP. VIII
