“Whatever was in that document had caused the death of the leader of the Catholic Church. Who'd be next? Calvi shuddered. His life's work was safe-guarding this document. Whatever its purpose or mystery, it was his solemn and sole mission to protect it. Even if it meant giving up his life for it.”
Peter J. Tanous, The Secret of Fatima

“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”
Peter J. Tanous

“Calvi was sobbing. This couldn't be! A moment ago the Pope was healthy, smiling. How could His Holiness be no longer? Only a month into his papacy!”
Peter J. Tanous, The Secret of Fatima
