		He was elected at the third ballot of the Papal Conclave, and this quick choice has been seen as a sign of probably rapidly achieved unanimous consensus.
		The following days, Cardinals effectively (despite the prohibition of telling others about the Conclave) would have declared that with general great joy they had elected "God's candidate." Cardinal Pironio declared: "We were witnesses of a moral miracle." And later, Mother Teresa commented: "He has been the greatest gift of God.
		Visitors spoke of his isolation and loneliness, and the fact that he was the first pope in decades not to have had either a diplomatic (Pius XI and John XXIII) or Curial career (Pius XII and Paul VI).

		Cardinal Pironio stated that, "We were witnesses of a moral miracle." And later, Mother_Teresa commented: "He has been the greatest gift of God, a sunray of God's love shining in the darkness of the world."
		And for Italian cardinals, determined not to "lose" the papacy to a non-Italian for the first time in centuries and faced with other controversial Italian candidates, Luciani was an Italian with no baggage.
		In fact, he was reported to have told them in the Conclave, "May God forgive you for what you have done on my behalf", with the smile that became his trademark; he also strongly suggested to his aides and staff that he believed he was unfit to be pope.

		Cardinal Silvano Piovanelli, emeritus Archbishop of Florence (Italy), was born on 21 February 1924 at Ronta in the Mugello near Florence.
		He had already accompanied Cardinal Benelli on his pastoral visits: an experience that had been “thought anew” and carried out with radically new criteria compared to such visits in the recent past, which strove both to evangelise and encourage the laity to undertake specifically missionary tasks.
		At Cardinal Benelli’s sudden death, in 1982, he took on the pastoral care of the Archdiocese and on 18 March 1983 John Paul II made him Archbishop of Florence.

		Cardinal Silvano Piovanelli, Archbishop emeritus of Florence, was born on 21 February 1924 in Ronta di Mugello (Florence).
		Following the efforts of the Bishop of Pescia, Giovanni Bianchi, who created a basis for a respectful and fruitful collaboration, he was able to make the ecclesiastic community aware of assuming its responsibility and founded the first parochial pastoral council which not only dealt with specific pastoral problems but also with those administrative.
		Following the unexpected death of Cardinal Benelli, in the autumn of 1982, on 18 March 1983 John Paul II nominated him Archbishop of Florence.

		Cardinal Cooke of NY was very conservative on the theological and political axes but because he was rather permissive ("liberal") on the discipline axis his successor O'Connor was thought be more conservative.
		What jumps out about Benelli was he was not much more conservative along the theological/political axes than Pope Paul was but he was very conservative along the discipline axes.
		The cardinals in the 1978 conclaves wanted excommunication and Siri ran as a moderate strict on the discipline scale used only as a last resort so that while Siri would like to sweep the Church free of Kungs, Currans and Greeleys he might take lesser disciplinary measures.

		[[Papabile Cardinals typically enter conclaves carefully groomed in case they are elected.]] John Paul I (October 17, 1912 – September 28, 1978), born Albino Luciani, was elected Pope on August 26, 1978 and died 33 days later on September 28, 1978, after one of the shortest reigns in papal history.
		He was the first to admit that the prospect of the papacy had daunted him to the point that other Cardinals had to encourage him to accept it.
		As Cardinal, Luciani wrote a book, called Illustrissimi, in which he penned letters to a wide collection of people, both historic and fictional, drawing parables with their experiences which he used in sermons.

		In creating Augustine Cardinal Galsworthy, Edward R.F. Sheehan has made a rare contribution to the growing universe of novels imagining the next conclave, that rare gathering of the Sacred College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church to elect a pope.
		"Cardinal Galsworthy" is panoramic in scope, rich and faithful in historical detail, at times beautifully written and has as its protagonist an uncommon character who is not a mere stick figure for some real-life character the author hopes will be elected to the Petrine throne.
		Cardinal Galsworthy is a complex, sinful (as we all are) yet pious and faithful Catholic.

		Among the papabile cardinals who were elected pope are Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli and Giovanni Cardinal Montini, Popes Pius XII and Paul VI respectably.
		In August, another candidate few saw as papabile, Albino Cardinal Luciani was elected and became Pope John Paul I. Lists of current papabile cardinals often include:

		Cardinal Gustavo Testa, an old friend of John XXIII, then blew his stack in the Sistine Chapel, demanding that the intransigents stop impeding Montini's path.
		Cardinal Giovanni Benelli, once Paul VI's principal aide, had settled on Cardinal Albino Luciani of Venice as his candidate; Benelli convinced others and Luciani was elected in a day --- only to die 33 days later of a thrombosis.

		They have made it clear that what is at stake is the liturgical and ecclesiastical revolution of the post-Vatican II era.
		On a wide range of issues, there are growing questions as to whether or not this ecclesiological fundamental has been respected (Cardinal Ratzinger's recent observations about the new Mass causing "extremely serious damage" are an example).

		Since Benelli directed the election of John Paul 1, we might conclude that John Paul I was somewhat naive and incapable of judging (distinguishing) the spirits of men.
		Indeed, the whole affair was 'Benelli making Benelli a Cardinal.' It is interesting to note that, in some of the visions of Veronica about the, two ecclesiastics with the golden keys' she sometimes saw them as two Cardinals, and other times as one Cardinal and one Archbishop.
		Unexpectedly, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Poland was elected Pope on Oct. 16, 1978.

		Benedict is the oldest man elected to his office in 275 years, and though it might seem ghoulish to raise the prospect of a successor just after the white smoke has cleared, it's realistic for cardinals to contemplate the future.
		According to the conventional scenario, the cardinals looked toward Poland in 1978 only after Italy's Cardinal Giovanni Benelli couldn't quite hit the two-thirds mark because he had made too many enemies during his Vatican years.
