Toby Johnson, White Crane Journal, “In revealing the dark secret that must have haunted him all his life, Gregoire forces the transformation of Christianity.”
` `
A compassionate priest, “Yes, he was all you say he was. My hope for a more just Church and a better world died with him.”

`
Howard Greene, playwright, London Times,“Like the Davinci Code, ’White Light Dark Night’ will infuriate the devout and other believers in the supernatural. But, unlike Brown, Gregoire has the proof.”
`
`
Howard Jason Smith, critic. Boston. "A Princely Dream? This book is the compilation of originally published actions of the 33-day Pope and not as they have been edited or republished by Rome. So outlandish and revolutionary - particularly for his time - are many of them, and so ingeniously and beautifully does the author weave them into the record, one could get the impression, from time to time, one is immersed in a Princely Dream. Yet, unlike the Davinci Code, the critics of this book must contend with the proof of the pudding - footnotes - ironclad sources that define the integrity of this work. Pinch yourself. It’s not a dream.”

One would wonder why the Vatican goes out if its way to bury the liberal identity of the 33-day pope? Could it be it wants to bury its ecclesiastical motive for murder? For example, recently the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Bertone, criticized an Italian television movie that depicted John Paul as he truly was - a social revolutionary activist.
There is far too much in his own writings and a mountain of newspaper reportings to support his true identity. John Paul, in his own books, many times, defends the oppressed. In a letter to Figaro in his best seller Illustrissimi, he encourages those outside the heterosexual mainstream to stand up and fight for their rights “Dear Figaro: Well then. Who and what are you dear Figaro? A variety of dress? A mixture of feminine and masculine? Of orient and occident? Poor Figaro, against all these nobles with their coats of arms, these bewigged bourgeois, who themselves do every trespass. They are no better, perhaps worse, than you. Barbers, marriage brokers, advisors, pseudo diplomats, ladies and gentlemen, whatever you like. They demand that you alone be honest in this world of cheats and rogues. Do not accept what they say, my dear Figaro, for you too are a citizen. Sadly, your only salvation is in revolution.”
John Paul was an ardent feminist activist as evidenced by his letters to Carlos Goldini in his book Humbly Yours. As a Pope, he declared publicly “God is more our Mother than She is our Father” the day before his sudden and unwitnessed death. His philosophical mentor was Serbati Rosmini, a monumental progressive who had forty of his propositions for change in the Church condemned by the Vatican in 1887.
It was his socialist revolutionary atheist father who placed him in a minor seminary at the age of eleven with the commission to bring change to the Church and Christianity. Besides, there are too many of us left who knew him. I was fifteen when my granduncle rose to the papacy. BRAVO! Lucien Gregoire brings him back to life as he actually was and not as Rome would pretend him to be.

An enraged nun, “You’re wrong. He was much more than you claim he was. Yes, for a short time, Lucifer sat on the papal throne. Fortunately, Gabriel and his angels rose up and tore him down.”

Search: "The Scandals and Heresies of John Paul I" - Michael Dimond. Brother Dimond also knew John Paul, yet, as a conservative he hated what Luciani stood for. In his paper he confirms the liberalism of John Paul.
