Beatification

Pope Paul VI and Archbishop Albino Luciani, the future Pope John Paul I, are pictured in Venice in September 1972. The editorial director of Vatican News, Andrea Tornielli, wrote in a June 21 article that Archbishop Albino Luciani, the future Pope John Paul I, had hoped that Pope Paul VI would liberalize church teaching on artificial birth control, but when he didn't, the archbishop helped promote acceptance of "Humanae Vitae."
