	Papal conclave, 1978 (October) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The October 1978 papal conclave was triggered by the sudden death, after only thirty three days in office, of Pope John Paul I.
		The second conclave, which began on 14 October was divided between two particularly strong candidates for the papacy: Giuseppe Cardinal Siri, the conservative archbishop of the Archdiocese of Genoa, and the liberal Giovanni Cardinal Benelli, the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Florence and a close associate of Pope John Paul I.
		This was also the last conclave of the 20th century, as the next election for a pope did not occur until the death of John Paul II in 2005.
