New pope John Paul I born near Venice and known for humility
The newly elected pope, son of an Italian bricklayer, is portrayed as mild yet stern on morality. A conservative theologian who supported Vatican II, he opposed birth control and female priest ordination, and as Patriarch of Venice opposed immorality and Biennale excesses. He faced a 1974 scandal over bounced diocesan checks but honored debts. He promoted charity over pomp, pedaled a bicycle for visits, and limited church wealth while fostering cross‑confessional ties.
