5. Thirty-Three Days: The Smiling Pope's Brief Reign

  • Résumé

  • This episode explores the unexpected election and brief papacy of Albino Luciani, who became Pope John Paul I in August 1978. It examines how this humble son of a bricklayer broke with Vatican traditions immediately upon his election—refusing the papal throne, speaking in first person, and declining formal ceremonies. The episode traces his vision for a simpler, more accessible Church that shocked the Vatican establishment and won him worldwide admiration as "The Smiling Pope." His thirty-three days in office represented a potentially transformative moment for the Catholic Church before his sudden death cut his papacy tragically short.
