Was John Paul I Really a "Saint"?
He stresses on MarcoTosatti.com (October 15), that between 1967-1969, Vittorio Veneto Bishop Luciani mishandled the “Schism of Montaner” when a whole village renounced Catholicism embracing Orthodoxy over the appointment of a parish priest by Luciani. Luciani arrived in Montaner, escorted by police to remove the Blessed Sacrament from the church.
He repressed in his diocese Padre Pio's prayer groups and forbade pilgrimages to San Giovanni Rotondo.
It was his merit as Venice Patriarch when he dissolved the local FUCI (Catholic Student Federation) because they supported the introduction of civil divorce in Italy.
However, at the same time, he looked with great hostility at the Roman Rite and “almost obsessively imposed the observance of the modern missal.”
