John Paul II on his predecessor, Pope John
Paul I (The Smiling Pope)
Karol Jozef Wojtyla was elected to succeed John Paul I as Pope on
Monday, October 16, 1978. . After his first Mass as Pope, he spoke about
his predecessor, Pope John Paul I:
- "What can we say of John Paul I? It seems to us that only yesterday
he emerged from this assembly of ours to put on the papal robes—not a
light weight. But what warmth of charity, nay, what 'an abundant
outpouring of love'—which came forth from him in the few days of his
ministry and which in his last Sunday address before the Angelus he
desired should come upon the world. This is also confirmed by his wise
instructions to the faithful who were present at his public audiences on
faith, hope and love." (source: L'Osservatore Romanon, Weekly Edition in
English, October 26 1978, p.3)
