Pope Francis Presides Over Beatification of Pope John Paul I | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Catholic Church has a new "blessed" as Pope Francis presided over the beatification of John Paul I. In his homily on Sunday in St. Peter's Square, the Holy Father called John Paul I a model for the faithful because he always resisted the temptation to put himself first and instead focused on others. John Paul I was often called the "smiling Pope." He died in 1978 after reigning for just 33 days. Rome Correspondent Colm Flynn joins to tell us more about this beatification and what Pope Francis said. Flynn shares more about the cause of beautification. He discusses the relic of John Paul I that is now possible to venerate. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
