the first few pages of the book is a biographical brief that had been written by a Carmelite nun some time ago. Had this been expanded into a full biography this book would garnish a few more stars. But, instead, the bulk of the book is made up entirely of translations of some of his heaviest epistles steeped in difficult to understand theology. None of these speaks of where he stood on the issues of his day. The book paints Luciani out to be a man who spent his life on his knees and ignored the issues of his day. Whereas, if one reads Lucien Gregoire’s biography of this Pope - Murder in the Vatican - nothing could be further from the truth; as he had spent his life pulling others up off their knees caring for the immense orphan population of his time - monks building and maintaining orphanages and nuns as teachers and as nurses caring for those too ill to come to school. Yet, hats off to the Carmelite nun who thought enough of this great man to have published the first translations of his life into english.
Read, “In God’s Name: An Investigation Into the Murder of Pope John Paul I “. The poor “Smiling Pope” never stood a chance with these money grubbing harlots who whacked him!
