FILE - In this Aug. 26, 1978 file photo, Pope John Paul I smiles and waves with both hands to the crowd filling St. Peter's Square at the Vatican. Pope Francis has moved Pope John Paul I, the pope who reigned for only 33 day, a step closer to possible sainthood just days after the Vatican endorsed a new book debunking four decades of conspiracy theories about his sudden, 1978 death. The Vatican said Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017 that Francis had signed a decree declaring that John Paul I lived a life of heroic virtue. The Vatican must confirm a miracle attributed to his intercession for him to be beatified, and a second miracle to be made a saint. (AP Photo, File)
