Yallop does a excellent job delving into the character and personality of Bishop Albino Luciani, the future John Paul I. Luciani was exactly the sort of man the church needed in 1978 when he was elected to the papacy. There was a great deal to like and love about this simple, humble yet very intelligent man. He had many fine qualities, including wisdom. But what made John Paul I special and set him apart was his inner strength. John Paul I had a steel backbone. He was not afraid to stand up to evil, including the darkness within the Church. John Paul I knew from experience that evil things were happening at the Vatican Bank.
Within a few years of its creation in 1942, the Vatican Bank became a cess pool of criminal activity. By the late 1940s, the CIA, mafia, drug lords, arms merchants and basically the scum of the earth were using it for all manner of illegal activities. From their standpoint, the absence of all accountability made the Vatican Bank an ideal $ laundry. The Vatican, after all, is a sovereign nation. And the man selected to run the Vatican Bank answers to no law -- only to the Pope.
Albino Luciani never sought the limelight, and never wanted to become pope. He was drafted for the job by the college of cardinals. Once selected, however, Luciani never flinched. He chose the name John Paul I, rolled up his sleeves and began the urgent task of cleaning up the Vatican Bank. No doubt, John Paul I would have succeeded had he lived.
Today, it is vitally important that Catholics understand what it all means -- the grave implications. John Paul I's murder showed that the institutional Church lacks the capacity to self - correct. The criminal activities of the Vatican Bank continue to this day with the blessing of John Paul I's successors.
John Paul II, Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) and Francis all lacked the moral and spiritual strength to take up and finish the task John Paul barely began. Instead of cleaning out the stables, all of these recent popes looked the other way. It's why the Church is dying....from inner rot. Even as the Fatima prophecies play out!
Is it any wonder the churches are empty?
