Pope John Paul I led the Catholic Church and Vatican City for just 33 days in 1978. Despite his short tenure, he left a lasting impact as the most recent Italian-born pope and the first to adopt the double name “John Paul.” Revered for his humility and warmth, he was praised by his successors John Paul II and Benedict XVI for his qualities. His dedication to his predecessors and contributions to the Church paved the way for his eventual canonization.
