 | | On August 26, 1978 Albino Luciani, formerly Cardinal of Venice, was elected to the papacy as John Paul I. He was the first pope in history to take a double-barrelled name. |
 | | He died, they say, in his bed, reading over some homilies he had delivered in Venice; later there was a fracas over some minor Vatican coverups regarding the details of the pontiff's death, a 1984 book alleging that the Pope had been poisoned, some question as to why there had been no autopsy. |
 | | The truth is probably that the pope died alone, in his bed, at peace, hardly in office. |
