Misleading and inaccurate
This book is just a bit of fluff to get some money out of the odd popularity of Pope John Paul II. I quickly found at least one very erroneous statement in it. The book states that Pope John Paul I was a centrist and "was probably not going to be an innovator." Anyone who knows ANYTHING about Pope John Paul I knows that this is a totally absurd (and unimaginable)...

I loved this book. I thought the photos were very beautiful and touching. However, it was Bulfinch Press who published it, not New York Graphic Society.

By Pyotr Rusakova "writer" (Washington, DC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pope John Paul II: A Tribute (Hardcover)
This book is just a bit of fluff to get some money out of the odd popularity of Pope John Paul II. I quickly found at least one very erroneous statement in it. The book states that Pope John Paul I was a centrist and "was probably not going to be an innovator." Anyone who knows ANYTHING about Pope John Paul I knows that this is a totally absurd (and unimaginable) assessment of the man. A poll in Italy showed that many millions of Italians believe he was killed by someone in the Vatican precisely because Pope John Paul I was so revolutionary in his ideas about birth control, poverty, and the church's irresponsible dehumanization of gay people. Pope John Paul I was set to be the greatest innovator in the history of the Catholic church. So this book lost all credibility with me upon reading such an apparently intentionally misleading statement.
