John Paul I and the Press
Albino
Luciani said that, if he had not been a Priest, he would have been a journalist.
But, certainly a journalist he was since when only a young Priest, when he used
to write articles for several newspapers. We remember, as a Patriarch, he wrote
for 'Il Gazzettino' of Venice, and 'Saint Anthony’s Messenger' -
with his very well-known letters addressed to different historical prominent
figures, which were then gathered in his famous book " The Most illustrious
Gentlemen ". Therefore, it is possible to say that it had not been a
frustrated vocation, but developed together with his priestly vocation.
Now
there will be reproduced here some articles from the Argentine and Italian press,
first pages of newspapers and international magazines about his election to
Peter’s See, other facts of the Pontificate and about his death.
John
Paul I and the journalists, his colleagues... He has met them in audience on
Friday, September 1st, 1978. Unforgettable meeting... An Argentinian journalist
reports on the audience and also gives a nice description of how he sees the new
Pope, just about him who had said that sometimes journalists were hanging-about
for things of less importance in the Church. But, I think the Pope will
have 'excused' this journalist this time. (See ' The Pope seen closely ').
