Blessed Pope John Paul I - September 28 Papacy began 26 August 1978 Papacy ended 28 September 1978 Pope John Paul I[a] (born Albino Luciani;[b] 17 October 1912 – 28 September 1978) was head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City from 26 August 1978 until his death 33 days later. His reign is among the shortest in papal history, giving rise to the first year of three popes since 1605. John Paul I remains the most recent Italian-born pope, the last in a succession of such popes that started with Clement VII in 1523. He was the first pope to have been born in the 20th century, as well as the last pope to die in it. Before the August 1978 papal conclave that elected him, he expressed his desire not to be elected, telling those close to him that he would decline the papacy if elected, but he eventually felt an obligation to accept his election.[4] He was the first pontiff to have a double papal name, choosing "John Paul" in honour of his two immediate predecessors, John …More
John Paul I Legacy Remembered as Smiling Pope Cardinal Albino Luciani took the names of his two immediate predecessors--John XXIII and Paul VI — to become John Paul I and the 264th successor of St. Peter on August 26, 1978. He explained that he chose these names to honor the popes who made him a bishop and a cardinal. Pope John Paul I became the first pope to have two names. But this was not the only "first" of John Paul I's brief papacy. He was also the first to not use the papal tiara and he often spoke using an Italian dialect. Both made the papacy more human and more relatable to people. “Dialect is a familiar language, and the liturgy proposed by the Second Vatican Council, which gave local languages a central role, required an absolute change,” Stefania Falasca, Vice President of the John Paul I Vatican Foundation, said. “In this way, the message of Christian truth could reach everyone. And he, with his humility, embodied this.” As the bishop of Vittorio Veneto, Albino Luciani …More
From the Schuman Center in Metz with Pope Leo, Deborah Lubov explains why the Pope chose this city From inside the Schuman Center in Metz with Pope Leo, Correspondent Deborah Castellano Lubov shares why the Pope chose this city, which has endured great suffering through three wars, and how, following in the footsteps of the founding father of the European Union, Venerable Robert Schuman, associated with the city, Pope Leo dares the world to likewise have the courage to pursue peace and reconciliation—even when the wounds seem too deep and it feels impossible. Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Robert Schuman ( 29 June 1886 – 4 September 1963) was a Luxembourg-born French statesman. Schuman was a Christian democratic (Popular Republican Movement) political thinker and activist. Twice Prime Minister of France, a reformist Minister of Finance and a Foreign Minister, he was instrumental in building postwar European and trans-Atlantic institutions and was one of the founders of the European Communities…More
Metz ...warum der Papst diese Stadt wählte, die in drei Kriegen großes Leid ertragen musste, und wie er, in den Fußstapfen des Gründervaters der Europäischen Union, des Ehrwürdigen Robert Schuman, mit der Stadt verbunden war,
A well-staged Papal event. Days of saturation coverage, politicians lining up, interfaith delegations, enormous crowds and journalists analysing every gesture: Leo XIV’s visit to France has become much more than a trip. Whatever one thinks of the motives behind it, secular French media and laicist public institutions have helped turn the visit into a national event — and staged the image of a Catholic revival in one of Europe’s most famously secular republics.
French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Pope Leo to Metz on September 28, 2026, during the final day of the Pope’s apostolic visit to France. Speaking at the Robert Schuman Centre, named after one of the architects of European integration, Macron appealed for a Europe committed to peace, independence and democracy. The French president warned against withdrawal, hatred of others and the return of divisive nationalism, saying Europe must recover the courage required to become a genuine “power of peace.” Pope Leo listened alongside Church and European leaders during the gathering, which focused on the roots of Europe, peace and unity. Among those attending were leaders and dignitaries from neighbouring European countries, including Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Jean-Luc Frieden, Grand Duke Guillaume V of Luxembourg, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco, and Bishop Josep-Lluís Serrano Pentinat of Urgell. The Metz gathering formed part of Pope Leo’s final programme in France …More

Jean-Marie Delbos was sexually abused as a boy at Notre-Dame de Bétharram, a Catholic school in southwest France. He lost his faith and had not been to Mass in 60 years. Today he met Pope Leo XIV at Lourdes. “He took me in both arms,” Delbos said. “I never imagined it was the pope holding me.” “Even me, a notorious unbeliever,” he added. “This man made me make the sign of the cross.”
Birds of a feather flock together for a relaxed round-table meeting in Metz: Leo XIV sat down with a small group of European leaders and dignitaries — several of whom have rather compromised records on life issues. Around the table were Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène of Monaco, Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg, Luxembourg PM Luc Frieden, Andorra’s Co-Prince Bishop Josep-Lluís Serrano Pentinat, and former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
À l'issue de l'événement organisé à Metz sous le titre « Aux racines de l'Europe », le #Pape a rencontré certaines des personnalités présentes lors d'un entretien privé dans une salle du Palais des Congrès. Dix invités étaient présents, dont les Macron, le prince Albert et Charlène, M. Frieden et M. Juncker.

28.09.2026 AI ON GOOGLE CONFIRMS: POPE LEO AND THE CARDINALS ARE IN SCHISM WITH CUSHINGISM. VCII AND THE CATECHISM ARE FEENEYITE.NEW DISCOVERY BY LIONEL ANDRADES AI on Google confirms that Pope Leo is in schism with Cushingism, Vatican Council II and the Catechism are Feeneyite.Cushingism is a new discovery of Lionel Andrades. The cardinals and bishops also interpret LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II with Cushingism and not Feeneyism, irrationally and not rationally. Canonically, a cardinal cannot be elected a pope or hold an ecclesiastical office when he changes the interpretation of the Creeds etc. In this case a false change has been . There is a False Premise ( invisible cases are visible people in 2026), False Inference ( visible cases of LG 16 are objective examples of salvation outside the Church and so practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus ) and False Conclusion ( Vatican Council II is a rupture and not a continuity with the dogma …More
A drone show lit up the night sky over Lourdes on Sunday, forming sacred images and the motto of Pope Leo XIV’s visit: “So that the world may have life.” Earlier in the evening, Leo XIV joined Lourdes’ famous torchlight procession, walking among tens of thousands of candle-carrying pilgrims — a different approach from his predecessors, who presided over the procession from a terrace.
Drones lit up the night sky over Lourdes on Sunday, September 27, bringing Pope Leo XIV’s torchlight procession to a spectacular close. The drones formed images of the Virgin Mary, a dove and cross, along with the motto of the Pope’s visit to France: “Pour que le monde ait la vie” (“So that the world may have life.”)
