Cardinal Albino Luciani
Cardinal Albino Luciani served as Pope John Paul I for a brief 33 days in 1978, during which he chose to honor his predecessors by adopting the name John Paul. His papacy was marked by a focus on humility and a desire for church reform, but it was tragically cut short by his sudden death, making him one of the shortest-reigning popes in history.
