The Life and Times of Pope John Paul I

Here is a thorough account of the extraordinary life of Albino Luciani (1912–1978), the first full analysis in English of his whole life—not merely another account of the circumstances surrounding his short papacy and death—which lays to rest many popular misconceptions and a great deal of false information. By considering the Pope’s whole life, in the context of change and continuity, it is possible to reach a much more mature and balanced view of his papacy and legacy to the Church.

The Vatican announced on 11th July 2022 that Pope John Paul I will be beatified 4th September 2022 in St. Peter’s Square.
