I would like to bring your attention to an article in America, an American Catholic periodical. Mo Guerin, who is writing a biography of Pope John Paul I – Papa Luciani – wrote an excellent article there on John Paul I as the “Forgotten Pope.”
Yes, very few people remember him nowadays, and as we age there will be fewer and fewer of us who had direct experiences with him. I would hate to think the slowness with which his canonization cause is moving through the bureaucracy of the Vatican is an attempt to forget.
By the way, stop by the website Papa Luciani at the lower right under “Good websites.” There is a lot to explore.
Here is the link to Guerin’s article.
