Shocking and Revealing
Being an avid reader of books regarding the falseness of the Roman Church did not prepare me for the contents of "
Murder
in the
Vatican
". That organisation must be the worst in history when it comes to perpetrating falsehood on the unsuspecting public at large. This book is a 'must-read' for all those who want to know the truth regarding the Roman Church. Anyone seeking knowledge of religion, and the Roman Church in particular should read this book.
I, too, remember him . . .
Yes, I remember him. He was all that you say he was and much more. My hope for a more just Church and a better world died with him.
I happened to have been a young seminarian in the
Vatican
the night the Pope died. The next morning, as we chatted in the cafeteria - having witnessed a vibrant driving fireball of a man the day before - the assumption was
murder
and our conversations focused on the two Opus Dei bishops `Murder in the Vatican' implicates in the crime. The author presents compelling evidence that these two led a conspiracy that resulted in the deaths of
John
Paul
and six of his closest friends in the fall of
1978
. Both these bishops were promoted past 300 archbishops and cardinals who outranked them to two of the most powerful positions in the Church shortly after the death of John Paul I.
Yet, the legacy of this good man is his
life
and not his death. Particularly enjoyable to me is the recounting of the author's conversations with John Paul when he was Bishop of Vittorio Veneto. In recording his many recollections of his struggles as an impoverished child, as a rebellious seminarian, and as an outspoken priest and bishop, Gregoire has preserved for the world an important part of history - something the present rulers in Rome would rather be forgotten. The reason why the Vatican has never commissioned a biography be written of the 33-day pope.
Thank you for having had the courage to have written this important book. It will bring great comfort to many and will stand the test of time. The opening line of its `Preface' tells the story. "For those of us who knew him, who remember him, I bring nothing new. But for those of us who have allowed the Church's misrepresentations of what he was all about, who have allowed Rome's falsehoods to distort his legacy, I bring a treasure trove of yesterday."

FINALLY THE TRUTH BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH!
To the author, Mr. Gregoire: BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A GREAT READ AND IT IS AN IMPORTANT BOOK. BUY IT AND READ IT.
Mr. Gregoire is the only person who has written about Albino Luciani (Pope
John
Paul
I) who knew him personally. Mr. Gregoire has done something no one else has done. He has introduced the real person who was Pope John Paul I.
After reading his book one can not only become informed about a truly Saintly person but also become angry about what and who we (humanity) have lost. We can only ask what would the planet look like today if Albino Luciani was not
murder
ed. As the head/monarch of the most powerful single organization in the world Papa Luciani could have done so much. I can speak from first hand knowledge that Pope John I was dangerous for so many people within and outside the
Vatican
. I do not mean the direction of the Catholic religion would have taken, I am talking about the amount of money many would have lost if Pope John Paul I had lived. These people were people who often used murder to eliminate obstacles to their interests.
What Mr. Gregoire does which so many have not done which is introduce Albino Luciani, the person, to the reader. A man who was truly humble; intellectual; highly intelligent; a linguist; an author and so much more.
If you are interested in the possibilities humanity has with the right people leading it. Read this book about a person I would have trusted the future of my children with: Albino Luciani.

Murder in the Vatican
Fascinating description of events surrounding
John
Paul
.
However, I do recommend a careful proofreading before reprinting. There is a difference, for example, between "prostate" and "prostrate." Other errors as well distract from reading.
A remarkable book about a remarkable man
This is the only biography of this remarkable man who could have returned the Christian Church to what it should have been, what Christ intended it to be. It presents what
John
Paul
I was really like, and his quest for complete equality between all people regardless of their race, gendre, or sexuality, and his quest for the redistribution of all wealth as commanded by Christ himself. It is an eye opening story of the truth and I commend all to buy it. Lucien Gregoire has done a fantastic job, despite I imagine much opposition. It also helps that he actually met Albino Luciani as a bishop several times and so had a personal link, rather than in some biographies where the author had never met the subject.
The issue which particularly got me was his comments on rich and poor, for example, his comments on using a gold lever to flush the toilet. I have always been extremely angry by the ever-growing gap between rich and poor. The wealthy seem to be getting more so, the poor likewise getting poorer. It is things like these that have turned me into a socialist. John Paul has helped this. I live in a relatively Conservative (similar to US Republican) area and this shocks a lot of people that I am quite so outspoken in my cry for redistribution. When I once mentioned it to a friend, me looked at me in shock and bewilderment with the response that "you're not touching my money". Helping others was all very well so long as he did not lose anything despite him doing nothing to earn it whilst others slave away for nothing. It would be a very different church had John Paul managed to succeed in redistributing the church's excessive wealth. I was horrified at your description of the extravagance within the
Vatican
. His description of equality also touched me. It is of course, as he said, a necessity for democracy.Therewas recently a large debate in the UK over whether married homosexual couples should be allowed to adopt children. Single homosexual men may, but married men under the new Civil Partnership could not. The Catholic Church in England and Wales objected strongly and said that were the legislation passed they would be forced to close their adoption agencies. I am convinced that were John Paul alive today he would have been first to fight for the rights of the homosexuals and the parentless orphans. This all reverts back to the main point that sex is really no sin at all. If this had been told from the start in the west then we would not have had the two extremes of sexual repression followed by free-love, but sex would be celebrated and enjoyed as a good thing as it has always been valued in the Eastern religious traditions (traditions which produced of course the Kama Sutra as a sacred text). I am sure John Paul would want us to fight for all these injustices which are still taking place, including of course the new one, Global Warming.
This book has made a profound impression on me, and I keep referring back to it. Gregoire has created an amazing book. Thank you and congratulations, Mr Gregoire. I will try and keep John Paul as my hero and guide in
life
and follow his example, and whenever that v comes up in the road will try and ask myself what Jesus would do in this situation, just as he did. Thank you so much for introducing me to this wonderful man. It has been to me over the last few months one of those remarkable few books which I have kept referring back to. Whenever I am trying to argue a point out, I will refer back to what John Paul I said on something, and have been continually picking it up on an almost daily basis.
I ordered my copy via the author. Go to used and new and he will send you a copy. I received mine priority international airmail in remarkable time. It was in perfect condition, and the author had kindly signed it with a personal message.
A remarkable book about a remarkable man with a princely dream. Complete equality in every form. The fulfillment of Christ's message. If only he had lived. Still, we can learn from this wonderful man. I am happy to recommend this book to everyone.

Murder
in the
Vatican
is two books in one volume. The
Revolutionary
Life
of
John
Paul
is the only existing biography of the 33-day Pope. The Vatican
Murders
of
1978
investigates the murders of John Paul and his six closest confidants.The Church, in its biographical briefs, keeps his life a secret, The Secret Life of John Paul. It would prefer that people remember him as a man who ignored the issues of his day and spent his life on his knees. Nothing could be more short of the truth, for, as a matter-of-fact, he had spent much of his life pulling others up off of their knees and putting them to work caring for the immense orphan population of his time. Concerning the issues, particularly human rights issues, for twenty years as a priest and a bishop, he was a rampaging locomotive running about the press and the courts of Italy. It was his lobbying in Italian Parliament that had made it legal for single persons to adopt children in Italy. When a member challenged, "But, that would make it legal for homosexuals to parent children," he responded, "The need to parent children is a basic human want . . . Until the day comes that we can guarantee basic human rights to the tiniest minority we cannot truthfully call ourselves a democracy." In a general audience, a reporter challenged him on the possibility of women ordination. John Paul reached for a microphone and told the crowd, "Never, forget that God is more our Mother than She is our Father." Then there is the most prolific testimony of this man who, more than any other, brought about sexual education into both private and public schools, "We have made of sex the greatest of sins, whereas in itself it is nothing more than human nature and not a sin at all."
