Episode 42 - The Life & Mysterious Death of Albino Luciani, POPE JOHN PAUL I

For Episode 42 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS, we examine the life of Albino Luciani, aka Pope John Paul I (not to be confused with the more famous John Paul II). This man was considered by some to be quiet, meek, and baffled by the enormity of his calling, while others said that he was just as shrewd and decisive, as he was gentle and congenial. He was the pope for only 33 days when, at the age of 65 and in seemingly good health, he suddenly died. The pope was found sitting up in his bed, clutching papers, wearing eyeglasses and a smile on his face. The Vatican declared cause of death as a heart attack, but an autopsy had not been performed. Suspicion shrouded the death scene, as the Vatican refused to release details that trickled out in other ways. Did the pope, indeed, die as a result of a misdiagnosed illness? Was his death a result of neglect by his handlers? Or did he, indeed, fall victim to assassination, as many have claimed and set out to prove?

BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE ACOUSTIC BOOKSHELF closes today's show with a small reading from ILLUSTRISSIMI, a book of letters written by the man, himself - Albino Luciani, Pope John Paul I
