The Facts About Pope John Paul I Albino Luciani

On August 26, 1978, the Modernist Sect elected Bp. Albino Luciani to thepapal office, and he took the name John Paul I, in honor of John XXIII and Paul VI. He was the first papal claimant in history to take a double name. (At the time, people joked that his successor would take the name Ringo George a reference to the rock bandThe Beatles, whose members consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison.)

In the Novus Ordo Church Luciani is, of course, in line for being declared asaint, just like all other deceased false Popes who arent canonized yet.Many semi-traditionalists seem to have a soft spot for Pope Luciani, and perhaps this has to do with the fact that he died unexpectedly a mere 33 days after his election, on September 28 of the same year. Althoughcircumstances suggest he was in fact murdered(and as of July 2019, a former mobster has confessed to being a part of his murder plot, accusing Abp. Paul Marcinkus of being the actual murderer) after attempting to expose and root out Freemasons from the Vatican and clean up the Vatican Bank, this tragic reality cannot blind us to the fact that, at the end of the day, even though he may not have had any sympathy for the Masons, Albino Luciani was still a Modernist who participated in the destruction of Catholicism and publicly adhered to the errors of Vatican II and Paul VI. In fact, in some ways Francishumble Pope gig was already anticipated by John Paul I.

Lets recap:It was John Paul I who abolished the solemn papal coronation ceremony, replacing it instead with a mereinstallation. It was John Paul I who stopped using thegestatorial chairand only resumed its use after people complained they could no longer see theirPope. It was John Paul I who first chose to use a curious double name because he couldnt decide which of his Modernist predecessors John XXIII and Paul VI he loved more. It was Albino Luciani who advisedPope Paul VI in 1965 to ease the restrictions on the use of contraceptives, even though Paul VI ultimately decided against it (well, sort of).

The following text is taken from a professional biographical database and gives an interesting picture of Luciani. Although reluctant at first, he ended up embracing the same Modernist ideas of his two predecessors whom he so much admired, even when he knew full well that the novel teachingscontradictedthe old. He liked toparticipate in meetings with the open Modernists at the Second Vatican Council and dialogue with them, instead of shunning and denouncing them:

Bishop Luciani kept a low profile during Vatican Council II, commenced in 1962 by Pope John for the reformation, or, as it was more delicately put officially, renewal, of the Roman Catholic Church. He was among those prelates who had difficulty in adjusting to some of the liberalizing steps taken by the council, such as the lessening of Papal authority in favor of the collegiality of the worlds bishops. The thesis I found hardest to live with was the one on religious freedom, he said later. For years I had taughtthe public law theses of Cardinal [Alfredo] Ottaviani, according to which only the truth [as held by the Roman Catholic Church] had rights. In the end, I convinced myself we had been wrong.

Like other conservatives at the council, Luciani disagreed with the liberal faction when, in the conservative view, it seemed to be calling for an interpretation of the churchs mission that would reduce it to a mere worldly agency of social action. Like them also, he was repelled by the efforts of some progressives from Germany and Holland to challenge such traditions as clerical celibacy and an exclusively male priesthood. But unlike most of the others, he tried to keep lines of communication open and participated in many meetings with the widely shunned progressives.

Bishop Luciani was a consultant to the sixty-member international commission formed by Pope Paul VI in 1963 to make recommendations for dealing with the problem of birth control. Luciani personally concluded that some accommodation for artificial birth control could be made within the teachings of the church, and he wrote to the Pope to that effect. The majority view in the report submitted by the commission in 1965 was that a modification of the traditional ban on contraception was possible and that, at the very least, no blanket prohibition should be made. Against the majoritys recommendation, Pope Paul in 1968 issued the encyclical Humanae Vitae, which firmly restated the papal opposition to birth control in all its forms, including the pill. Although saddened by the drift of middle-class Catholics from the church that was accelerated by the encyclical, Bishop Luciani, loyal to his Pope, suppressed any negative thoughts he might have entertained about Humanae Vitae.

It is true that, when compared to the trite Modernist drivel weve heard for decades from Francis, Benedict XVI, John Paul II, and Paul VI, Luciani could sound downright conservative at times and might have seemed not too bad, but this is merelyby comparisonand indicative of the terrible shape that Catholicism finds itself in today. The Vatican II Sect can hardly be the standard by which we measure orthodoxy. It would be like asking an alcoholic how much beer one should drink.

Lets look at some more evidence of the liberalism of Albino Luciani.

In a sermon preached in 1976, he remarked that just before the Second Vatican Council began, hehappened to read at the same time two writings: one by Freud, the other by Gandhi (Lori Pieper, ed.,A Passionate Adventure: Living the Catholic Faith Today, [Bronx, NY: Tau Cross Books, 2013], Kindle loc. 4564); and although he denounced theanti-Christian Jewish Talmudasfull of fables and childish and bizarre things, he also held that the diabolical work can help us in understanding the Gospel at certain points (ibid., loc. 2462). For the record, the Talmudteaches that Jesus Christ was illegitimate and was conceived during menstruation; that he had the soul of Esau; that he was a fool, a conjurer, a seducer; that he was crucified, buried in hell and set up as an idol ever since by his followers (Rev. I. B. Pranaitis,The Talmud Unmasked,p. 30).

In September of 1978, after calling U.S. President Jimmy Carter afervent Christian, John Paul I said as part of his Sunday Angelus address:

And [Israeli] Premier Begin recalls that the Jewish people once passed difficult moments and addressed the Lord complaining and saying: You have forsaken us, you have forgotten us! No!He replied through Isaiah the Prophetcan a mother forget her own child? But even if it should happen, God will never forget his people.

Also we who are here have the same sentiments; we are the objects of undying love on the part of God. We know: he has always his eyes open on us, even when it seems to be dark.He is our father; even more he is our mother.He does not want to hurt us, He wants only to do good to us, to all of us. If children are ill, they have additional claim to be loved by their mother. And we too, if by chance we are sick with badness, on the wrong track, have yet another claim to be loved by the Lord.

(John Paul I,Angelus Address, Sep. 10, 1978; underlining added.)

Although it is true that Almighty God loves us and takes care of us in a way that islike toa mother (see Is 49:15; Mt 23:37), it is complete nonsense to say not only that Godisour mother, but even that He is our mothermore sothan He is our Father. The Most Holy Trinity has revealed Himself asFather, Son, and Holy Ghost (see Mt 28:19). Our Lord Jesus Christ referred to the First Person of the Blessed Trinity asFather, notMother (see Mk 14:36), and taught us to do the same (see Mt 6:9). And as far as mother goes, our Lord gave His own Mother the Blessed Virgin Maryto us to be our spiritual mother (see Jn 19:26-27).

We have to remember the dire warnings of the true Popes about the dangers of heresy and other errors that work the destruction of souls,especiallywhen they are not clearly out in the open but hide behind ambiguity and seeming contradiction, and are uttered by people who seem of good will:

Likewise, Fr. Felix Sardas Vatican-approved workLiberalism is a Sinis very instructive with regard to the dangers of and the methods used by Liberals/Modernists, and the excuses that are typically made to escape condemnation.

Finally, the biggest Luciani whopper of them all came on Sunday, September 17, 1978, again at an Angelus address: John Paul I publicly praisedGiosu Carducci(1835-1907), an anti-clerical Italian poet and educator who was actually a Satanist! Pope Luciani said:

Italian professors have, in their history, classic cases of exemplary love and dedication to education. Giosu Carducci was an university professor in Bologna. He went to Florence to some commemorative acts. One day, in the afternoon, he went to say good-bye to the Minister of Public Instruction.No, nosaid the Minister, stay also until tomorrow.Excellence, it is not possible for me. Tomorrow, I have a class in the university and the boys will be waiting for me.I exempt you.You can exempt me, but I do not exempt myself. Professor Carducci really had a concept as high about education as about students. He belonged to the class of those who say:to teach Latin to John, it is not enough to know Latin, it is also necessary to know John and love him. And also:As much is worth the lesson as the training.

(John Paul I,Angelus Address, Sep. 17, 1978; original Italian versionhere)

Papalpraise for the Satanist Carducci, who called Catholic prieststhe real and unaltering enemies of Italy and composed a blasphemous and anti-Catholic ode called Hymn to Satan! See this and more evidence of the Satanism of Carducci at the following link:

How can a supposedly Catholic Pope admire and commend a follower of the devil himself?!For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever? (2 Cor 6:14-15).

The fact is that John Paul I was another wolf in sheeps clothing. Yes, he had a very kind demeanor andseemedbenevolent, but no man of God would do and say the things Luciani did and said.

At the end of the day, Bp. Luciani was another dangerous Novus Ordo Modernist, whose attachment to the errors of Angelo Roncalli and Giovanni Montini found permanent expression in the choice of hispapalname,John Paul. The fact that he added the numeralIthe First to his name from the very beginning indicates that he wanted to begin an entire tradition of honoring Roncalli and Montini in thepapal names henceforth.

And the rest, as they say, is history.
