TIME SHOT, Une minute pour comprendre l'Histoire du MondeLe 28 septembre 1978, Mort suspecte du pape Jean-Paul IerRetour sur le 28 septembre 1978, Mort suspecte du pape Jean-Paul Ier, 33 jours après son élection. Jeudi 28 septembre 1978, à peine plus d’un mois plus tôt, le conclave avait surpris le monde catholique en élisant un pape souriant, modeste, attaché à la simplicité : Jean-Paul Ier, né Albino Luciani. Son style tranchait avec la solennité habituelle : il refusait la tiare, parlait sans notes, aimait les homélies claires et directes. On l’appelait déjà « le pape au sourire ». Mais derrière les murs du Vatican, l’Église traverse une période troublée : scandales financiers autour de la banque vatic...

Choses à Savoir HISTOIREJean-Paul Ier a-t-il été assassiné ?La mort soudaine du pape Jean-Paul Ier, le 28 septembre 1978, seulement 33 jours après son élection, a nourri pendant des décennies une véritable avalanche de théories du complot. Mort naturelle ? Coup monté ? Assassinat maquillé ?

Si le roi de France est souvent représenté avec une barbe soigneusement taillée, c’est en réalité pour dissimuler une cicatrice au menton, vestige d’un incident marquant de sa vie.En 1521, François Ier est engagé dans un duel amical avec le duc de Bourbon. Lors d’un échange un peu trop vigoureux, l’épée de son adversaire lui entaille profondément le menton. La blessure, bien que non mortelle, laisse une cicatrice visible. Or, à l’époque, l’apparence physique des souv...

Son règne de 33 jours fut l’un des plus brefs de l’histoire de la papauté : Jean Paul Ier, mort en 1978, a été béatifié hier à Rome par le pape François. Dernier pape italien, Albino Luciani, avait succédé à Paul VI le 26 août 1978, à l’âge de 65 ans. Mais 33 jours et six heures plus tard, il meurt des suites d’un infarctus.
