In God's Name: An Investigation into the Murder of Pope John Paul I is a book by David A. Yallop about the death of Pope John Paul I.

Potential danger

Yallop proposes the theory that the pope was in "potential danger" because of corruption in the Istituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR, Institute of Religious Works, the Vatican's financial institution, commonly known as the Vatican Bank), which owned many shares in Banco Ambrosiano. The Vatican Bank lost about a quarter of a billion US dollars.
